Vaccinium corymbosum Elliot (Blueberry)

Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Elliot’ — Highbush Blueberry
Extend your blueberry season with ‘Elliot,’ one of the latest-ripening highbush varieties available. This vigorous, upright native shrub delivers plentiful harvests well into August and September, giving you weeks of fresh, flavorful berries after most other varieties have finished. Once the fruiting season wraps up, its foliage ignites in brilliant fall color, adding ornamental value to the landscape.

Blueberries thrive in slightly acidic soil and full sun. Since they fruit on new growth, prune out about one-third of the oldest canes in early spring. For best yields, plant more than one variety.
