Duke Blueberry Description
At 5–7' tall, it is taller than most highbush varieties, and offers up plump, light blue berries that are firm and mildly sweet. The self-pollinating plant has shallow, fibrous roots, so regular watering as well as good drainage is necessary for optimum growth. A layer of mulch in winter is highly beneficial. Enjoy colourful ornamental foliage in fall. Yields up to 20 lbs of fruit per season.Vaccinium corymbosum
