Blueberry Northsky 1Gal

Key Plant Characteristics

• Size and Habit: Compact, low-mounding growth reaching 10 to 24 inches tall and 2 to 3 feet wide. 
• Hardiness: Withstands extreme winter temperatures down to –40°F to –45°F (USDA Zones 3–8). Its low stature naturally keeps it insulated under snow cover. 
• Ornamental Value: Features snow-white bell-shaped flowers in spring, glossy green foliage in summer, and brilliant orange, red, and scarlet leaves in autumn. 
• Fruit & Yield: Produces small, sky-blue, firm berries with a sweet, aromatic, wild-blueberry flavor. Yields average 1 to 3 pounds per plant at maturity, ripening in mid-to-late summer (typically around mid-July). 

Growing and Care Guide

• Soil Requirements: Requires strictly acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.0, amended with peat moss and organic matter. 
• Light: Performs best in full sun (partial shade is tolerated but reduces fruit production).
• Pollination: While partially self-fertile, planting a companion half-high variety like Northcountry, Northblue, or Chippewa nearby significantly boosts fruit set. 
• Containers: Ideal for patio pots or 15- to 25-gallon containers due to its miniature, tidy footprint.
