Product Information

As with other container-grown blueberries, it will benefit from a monthly liquid ericaceous feed throughout the growing period. 10) V. ‘Herbert’ There are Blueberry cultivars more suitable for smaller gardens that grow 0.5m-1m high & wide,” shares Master Horticulturist Colin Skelly. Perhaps one of the most readily available blueberries, ‘Duke’ is one of the larger cultivars that can grow to an eventual height of up to 2.5m.

Blueberries are among the most nutrient-dense berries. A 1-cup (148-gram) serving of blueberries contains ( 3): Growing to a height and spread of 1.5m with a bushy habit, ‘Pink Lemonade’ is a mid- to late-season blueberry with lovely autumnal leaves which turn a deep red before falling for the winter. 8) V. ‘Top Hat’ A semi-evergreen blueberry shrub, it displays bright pink flowers before fruiting and its foliage provides lovely autumnal interest as the leaves turn purple-red. 7) V.‘Pink Lemonade’ The blueberry bush ( Vaccinium sect. Cyanococcus) is a flowering shrub that produces berries with a bluish, purple hue — also known as blueberries ( 1). After that, prune at any time from November to March, but ideally in late February or early March when the fruit buds can easily be distinguished from leaf buds. Fat buds produce flowers and fruit, while smaller, flatter buds form shoots and leaves – aim to retain branches with lots of fruit buds.Research suggests that anthocyanins in blueberries have beneficial effects on insulin sensitivity and glucose metabolism. These anti-diabetes effects have been observed with both fresh and freeze-dried berries ( 32, 33, 34).

You’d be forgiven for thinking blueberries have no place in Britain’s repertoire of home-grown fruit, but you’d be wrong. Blueberries grown on this side of the Atlantic are among the best in the world. In recent years blueberries have been lauded for their nutritious qualities, because they're loaded with anthocyanins, which give the berries their blue colour and high levels of antioxidants. Cooked blueberries lend an intense flash of deep purple-blue to cakes, puddings, sauces, jams and relishes. Some of the best-known blueberry recipes come from the US and include blueberry pie, muffins, cheesecake and pancakes. Producing good size berries with a sweet flavour, it is no wonder it is so commonly grown not only domestically, but commercially as well. Blueberry ‘Hortblue Petite’ is rather special as it is a new cultivar that has been bred to crop twice in a growing season.With a hardiness rating of H4, it is less hardy than some other blueberry cultivars, so care might be needed if the winter temperatures drop severely. 11) V. corymbosum‘Aurora’ With vigorous growth, it can reach a little over 1m in height and spread over time and, as with all blueberries, requires an ericaceous soil. Having received the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM), it has proven to perform reliably well. 3) V.‘Berkeley’

Being deciduous, its green foliage turns a lovely bright red come autumn before dropping for the winter. Fruiting in July and then September, it will produce delicious dark blue berries on a compact shrub that will only grow to an eventual size of 1m high with a 0.75m spread. Blueberry ‘Spartan’ is another popular variety which, unlike its name suggests, produces good crops. Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years after planting – just remove any crossing or unwanted branches if necessary. For the biggest fruits, blueberry ‘Chandler’ is certainly worth considering as it can produce delicious berries up to 2cm.Like ‘Top Hat’, ‘Hortblue Petite’ is well suited to growing in a container, but can equally be grown in the ground in a sheltered and south-facing position. With its spreading habit and large fruits, blueberry ‘Berkeley’ is a later fruiting shrub which is ready for harvesting in late July.

If growing space is limited, then a smaller and more compact blueberry shrub such as ‘Sunshine Blue’ may be more suitable.With a bushy habit, this blueberry shrub can grow up to 1.5m tall and wide if given the right conditions. 5) V. corymbosum‘Patriot’ I grow a couple of these in my garden, including V.‘Sunshine Blue’ and V. ‘Top Hat’, and these produce a large crop on relatively small bushes. For fruits to harvest later in the season, blueberry ‘Aurora’ produces large deep blue berries with a rich flavour from August into September. Also, they all bear fruit in the summer and are H6 hardy unless otherwise mentioned, meaning they can be grown in any and all areas of the UK throughout the year. 1) V. corymbosum‘Duke’
