Vaccinium corymbosum 'Patriot'

Highbush Blueberry

This variety bears consistent crops of the largest early season blueberries around - the size of quarters! Production is high, ranging between 10 and 20 pounds at maturity. The berries are dark blue and highly flavored. Patriot is a low growing, spreading shrub to about 4' wide. It is adaptable to many soil types and will perform better in wetter soils than many other varieties. Patriot makes an excellent landscape variety with its showy white blooms in the spring, dark green summer foliage, and fiery orange fall colors. Blueberries love acid soil.
