Blueberry 'Patriot' (Organic)Vaccinium corymbosum

Blueberry ‘Patriot’ is renowned for having especially large and well flavoured berries and consistently high yields. An early season variety, it’s often the first one to ripen in mid/late July. The fruit is borne on bushy, reasonably compact plants, which are especially cold hardy, tolerating cold, wet soils and resisting root rot better than other varieties.

Blueberries are incredibly rewarding fruit bushes to grow because they easily earn their place in the garden for their ornamental qualities alone – with white, waxy blossom in the spring followed by fiery red and orange autumn colours.  They are perfect for growing in pots of ericaceous compost on a sunny patio where you can enjoy their beauty and help yourself to easy-pickings of their delicious berries. Height and spread: 120cm-150cm (4 to 5ft).

Although self-fertile, like all Blueberries ‘Patriot’ will produce its best crops if grown with another blueberry to increase pollination.

Estimated time to best yields: 28-32 months (16-20 months for 3l potted plant).
