The Duke Blueberry Bush is a self-pollinating Northern Highbush variety that delivers heavy yields of large, flavorful berries. With cold-hardy performance, disease resistance, and ornamental value, it’s a top choice for home gardeners.
Self-Pollinating Blueberry Bush With High Yields of Large Berries
The Duke Blueberry Bush is self-pollinating and known for its high yields of large fruit. Once established in your garden, the bush will produce copious amounts of berries that are bigger than those grown on other varieties. For gardeners looking to maximize their harvest and get the most out of their time spent in the garden, this is a must-have plant!
Low Chilling Requirements for Northern Regions
For northern gardeners that live in climates with cooler winters, the Duke Blueberry Bush is a great choice. This bush only requires about 150 – 200 hours of chilling during winter months — which is significantly lower than other popular blueberry varieties like Bluecrop or Blueray. This means you can grow this variety in most northern regions, as it will still receive enough chill hours to produce loads of large berries!
Duke Northern Highbush Blueberry is Easy to Grow
Duke Blueberry Bush is great for gardeners who worry about disease. This variety has a tolerance to drought, root rot, and was also bred with natural resistance to common diseases like powdery mildew, bacterial leaf scorch, fruit rot, and Botrytis blight. It’s organic and safe for your family since it doesn't need application of chemicals or other treatments.
Attractive Foliage Throughout the Year
Not only does the Duke Blueberry Bush give you sweet, delicious fruit all summer long; it also has attractive semi-evergreen foliage throughout the year.
Its glossy, dark green leaves make an attractive accent against a dull winter landscape and provides a pop of color in your garden during the growing season. Plus, the small but delicate pink flowers are enjoyable to look at while they blossom in late spring.
The Duke Blueberry Bush is an ideal choice for your yard due to its low-maintenance requirements and adaptability. It requires only minimal pruning and can be grown in a variety of soil types with few problems.
To ensure a healthy crop of blueberries each year, make sure to provide the bush with moist, well-drained soil in full sun or light shade. Fertilizing regularly will also give your bush an added boost of nutrients!
