Pollinators for the Blueberry - Blue Rose

Cross pollinate with these Northern Highbush varieties for fruit set

Blueberry - Margaret

$24.90

A highbush selection requiring 750-1200 hours of chill, it does best on cooler climates. Earliest fruiting variety from early December. Good size fruit. Most important. Blueberries require an acid soil with a pH of 4.5 to 5.5. They also require a free draining loose friable soil. They dislike clay heavy soils. To aide the successful establishment of bushes it is best to build up beds by incorporating peat moss and garden soils at a 50/50 ratio. Peat is preferred as it is naturally acidic.

Blueberry - Denise

$17.75 ($14.90-$17.75 choose a size)

A northern high bush variety that is only suited to cooler areas as it has high chilling requirements.Fruit is very large and round, medium blue with red around stem end when ripe. Great as fresh eating berry. Early season ripening over about 7 weeks.

Blueberry - Reka

$27.00 ($17.75-$49.00 choose a size)

One of the fastest growing and most adaptable variety of blueberries, Reka is a heavy bearer and has great tasting fruit. A Northern Highbush variety it is self fertile but will benefit from having another variety nearby such as the Denise. Deciduous and frost hardy bit in areas with late frost care needs to be taken to protect the spring flowers. It has shown an adaptability to soil type so may be worth trying in areas that lack truly acidic soil.

Blueberry - Northland

$23.90

Northern Highbush variety, cold hardy, compact and dense bush with large sweet fruit. Ripening end of year and into the new. Northland produces a colourful autumn display when losing its leaves for winter. Due to its high chill requirements it breaks dormancy later than Southern Highbush types so pair this one with Blue Rose for pollination purposes.

Update - Just got my first harvest of blueberries! I did lose one to a bird but I quickly netted the plant and protected the rest. The taste of the berries is very subtle with a hint of sweetness and none of the tartness of the store-bought blueberries...
