Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluecrop' - Bluecrop Highbush Blueberry
Bluecrop Highbush Blueberry is an upright spreading deciduous shrub with heavy production of plum, firm, sweet-tangy blueberries that ripen mid-season. The elliptical dark green foliage turns rich red in fall. The white flower clusters bloom in late spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Bluecrop is self-fertile but will produce more when cross pollinated, and is disease resistant.
Vaccinium corymbosum are highly valuable for wildlife as well, being listed as a host plant for 32 different butterflies and moths, and provides nectar to several specialized bees. The berries and branches are good food sources for birds and mammals.
