Considered by many to be one of the most reliable croppers, this mid-season cultivar produces high yields of large, delicious fruits that are ready to pick in mid-summer. The vigorous bushes have an upright habit and show a good resistance to disease.
The dark green foliage provides interest throughout the growing season, turning brilliant shades of red and orange in autumn. In spring, clusters of small, white, bell-shaped flowers appear, attracting pollinators before giving way to the developing fruit.
Blueberry ‘Bluecrop’ thrives in acidic, moisture-retentive soil and benefits from a sunny, sheltered position. Ideal for growing in pots with ericaceous compost or in garden beds enriched with organic matter, this cultivar is self-fertile but will produce an even better harvest when grown alongside another blueberry cultivar.

Prepare the ground well before planting. Blueberries can also be grown in large pots and containers if ericaceous compost is used. Prune in winter, cutting out dead or damaged branches. In spring, feed with sulphate of ammonia, sulphate of potash and bonemeal and top-dress with ericaceous compost.
