Northland Blueberry

Description

The Northland Blueberry is an exceptionally cold hardy, mid season variety specifically developed by Michigan State University to withstand harsh northern winters. It is widely considered a "sure bet" for northern gardeners and can withstand temperatures as low as -35 to -40C. It produces high yields of medium sized, sweet berries with a rich flavor reminiscent of wild blueberries. Due to the shallow roots of blueberry plants, it needs consistent moisture while the plant is producing fruit. This variety offers year round interest with white to pink spring flowers, vibrant orange red fall foliage, and striking yellow or reddish winter branches. It also features flexible, limber branches that resist breakage under heavy snow and ice loads. Thrives in full sun for the best yields and colours.
