3 Gallon “Patriot” Blueberry Bush
The Patriot blueberry bush is a cold-hardy highbush cultivar that bears consistent crops. You can expect 10-20 pounds of delicious berries from just one bush! Because of its height, you can use the Patriots as a living fence.
These adaptable plants grow up to 4-6′ high. No more need to buy your blueberries. Plan to pick the large tasty berries in July and use them to make yummy jams, jellies, or in cobblers and muffins.
Patriot is a good container plant as well as a landscape variety with beautiful showy bell-shaped white blooms in May and dark green summer foliage that turns fiery orange-red in the fall.
Fall is an ideal time to plant fruit plants so they establish a strong root system and get a head start on spring growth.
While the Patriot bush grows in many soil types, a soil pH level of 4.5-4.8 is ideal.
Hardiness zones: 3-7
