Blueberry - Patriot
Good cold hardiness and consistent crops of Patriot’s gigantic fruit make this tops on the blueberry plant list. Expect 10-20 pounds of luscious berries from just one bush! ‘Patriot’ has huge (quarter-size), tart, dusky fruit bursting with true blueberry flavor, coming earlier than some other varieties, in late July. It is a highbush blueberry cultivar which typically grows at least 4’ tall or more, a perfect choice for a living fence. ‘Patriot’ will give you lovely, bell-shaped, white flowers in May; delicious, exceptionally nutritious fruit in July and a show of bright orange color in fall. If you have a low, wet (but well-drained) area in sun to part shade, just acidify the soil, plant it, mulch it, and it will thrive. Blueberries cost a small fortune anymore; grow your own and eat them right off the bush, or use them in cobbler, muffins, jam, jelly or syrup. Be sure to get several so you can share some with your feathered friends. Self-pollinating. Zones 4-8.
