Description
Blueberry plants, also known as Vaccinium corymbosum, are fantastic plants to add to your backyard or kitchen garden. Besides growing delicious blueberries, the plants grow creamy white flowers in summer and rusty red leaves in spring. Grow blueberry bushes in acid soil for sweet, juicy berries packed with vitamins. Blueberry plants are easy to care for and also thrive in lime-free, acid soil. For best results, grow two different varieties of blueberries to ensure good pollination. These popular fruit plants will produce years of fruit with the right care and pruning.
Care
Blueberry plants reach a maximum height of 2 meters and are fully hardy. The bushes form blueberry-like berries that are three times larger than the native blueberry. Blueberries need moist, acidic soil. Plant the Vaccinium preferably in full sun. Pruning is best done in early spring, before growth begins. This is because blueberry plants produce fruit from July to October. Therefore, fertilize the plant in the spring. You can also enjoy this plant during the autumn months, when it turns a beautiful red.
Size
The plants have a height of 25-40cm upon delivery, measured including the nursery pot. The plants are supplied in a nursery pot with a diameter of 9cm.
