Vaccinium 'Northland'

This semi-dwarf variety is a highbush (Vaccinium corymbosom) x lowbush (Vaccinium angustifolium) cross. It is one of the heaviest cropping varieties producing medium sized berries that are more flavoursome than those produced on most highbush types, having a sweet wild blueberry taste characteristic of the wild lowbush species. The plant will reach a maximum height of approximately 4ft with a spreading habit and is very hardy.

Pollination: Self-fertile.

Season: July/Aug.

Plant size: 2 litre pot.

Available for delivery: all year.

Blueberries are very expensive to buy in the shops, yet they are easy to grow and once established will crop reliably year after year. As well as being suitable for growing in the open ground (they do require an acid soil), they are perfect for growing in containers (using an ericaceous compost). With pretty white bell shaped spring flowers, succulent summer fruits and brilliant autumn foliage, they make exceptionally good patio plants. Blueberries are self-fertile but it is best to plant two different varieties to improve pollination. Plant 1.2-1.5m (4-5ft) apart. Our blueberry bushes are supplied in pots and unless otherwise stated in the product description are available for despatch throughout the year.

Our range of blueberry plants for sale includes early, mid and late-season varieties, allowing you to extend your blueberry harvest over several months. By selecting a combination of cultivars, such as ‘Duke’ for early fruit and ‘Chandler’ for late-season berries, you can enjoy home-grown blueberries from July through to September.

You may be worried about the specific soil requirements for growing blueberry bushes. We recommend acid soil for all blueberries. However, any variety can be grown in a pot using an ericaceous compost. Many gardeners find space a limiting factor. We therefore offer dwarf varieties like ‘Hortblue Petite’ and ‘Sunshine Blue’, which are perfect for smaller gardens and patio containers.

If you want to grow something unusual, consider planting ‘Pink Sapphire’. This new variety of blueberry (or pinkberry) produces medium-sized bright pink berries that are delicious eaten straight from the bush but are also superb in puddings, pies and jam.
