The leaves are dark green in color, changing color to orange-red in autumn. White flowers develop in May and they are eagerly pollinated by insects. The fruits are medium-sized, round and slightly flattened, light blue in color, aromatic. They ripen in July gathered in clusters at the ends of shoots. Sufficiently hard and firm, so they can be stored and transported without the risk of damage. Great for eating raw, as well as for preserves.
Blueberries are easy to grow shrubs. They are characterized by very good frost resistance. In order for them to grow well and bear fruit abundantly, they must be planted in sunny positions and in light, humus soils with a pH in the range of 3.5-4.5. It is recommended to buy peat dedicated to blueberries with an acidic reaction or to properly acidify the substrate with preparations containing sulfur compounds. Pruning should only be done every few years to rejuvenate the plant by removing old shoots.
