Duke Blueberry Bush produces dainty white flowers that give way to firm, sweet-tart berries. Their flavor often improves after a few days of cold storage. While Duke blooms late in the season, its fruit ripens in the early summer. Because of this late bloom time, it safely avoids late frosts. It is self-pollinating, but produces heavier yields when pollinated with another variety. Cold-hardy Duke is a vigorous growing Blueberry Bush, maturing around 4-6′ tall.
When planting Blueberries, it’s best to plant two plants. They should be different varieties with overlapping bloom times. This will create cross-pollination and maximize your harvest. For the best fruit production, plant Blueberries in full sun. They prefer well-drained, highly acidic soil. It is also best to feed with an acidic fertilizer in the spring. In the fall Blueberries foliage turns shades of yellow and red.
