Bluettta Northern Highbush Blueberry Plant

The Bluetta Northern Highbush blueberry plant is a Northern Highbush variety known for its very early season fruiting. These blueberry plants require 800 to 1000 chill hours to properly set fruit, making them suitable for specific climates. This 2 year old plant is shipped bare root and ready to plant.

For optimal growth, blueberry plants need acid soil rich in organic matter. Ensure good drainage, as their shallow, fibrous roots are susceptible to oxygen deprivation. Consistent moisture is important, as they aren’t drought-tolerant. A sunny location will encourage the best fruit production.

To maximize your harvest, plant multiple cultivars close together, within 5 feet. While blueberry cultivars are self-fertile, cross-pollination results in larger berries. Planting different cultivars also extends the harvest season as they ripen at different times.

Benefits of Growing Bluetta Northern Highbush:

• Early season fruit production
• Potential for larger berries through cross-pollination
• Extended harvest season with multiple cultivars
• Delicious and nutritious blueberries
