Product Information

A semi-evergreen blueberry shrub, it displays bright pink flowers before fruiting and its foliage provides lovely autumnal interest as the leaves turn purple-red. 7) V.‘Pink Lemonade’ What follows are eleven popular types of blueberries which can be grown in the UK, including some very special RHS AGM recipients. Providing intense autumnal foliage, blueberry ‘Aurora’ has great ornamental qualities before turning dormant for the colder months. References

Having received the RHS Award of Garden Merit (AGM), it has proven to perform reliably well. 3) V.‘Berkeley’ Flowering later than others, but often ripening early, it can be an excellent choice for growing in areas where late frosts can present a problem. More tolerable of soil conditions than others, it can be a good choice for those growing on less-than-ideal ground conditions. 6) V.‘Sunshine Blue’ You’d be forgiven for thinking blueberries have no place in Britain’s repertoire of home-grown fruit, but you’d be wrong. Blueberries grown on this side of the Atlantic are among the best in the world. In recent years blueberries have been lauded for their nutritious qualities, because they're loaded with anthocyanins, which give the berries their blue colour and high levels of antioxidants. Cooked blueberries lend an intense flash of deep purple-blue to cakes, puddings, sauces, jams and relishes. Some of the best-known blueberry recipes come from the US and include blueberry pie, muffins, cheesecake and pancakes. As with other container-grown blueberries, it will benefit from a monthly liquid ericaceous feed throughout the growing period. 10) V. ‘Herbert’Reaching a size of 2.5m tall over time, it is a vigorous blueberry with an upright habit and produces fruit from late July to August. Blueberry ‘Spartan’ is another popular variety which, unlike its name suggests, produces good crops.

If growing space is limited, then a smaller and more compact blueberry shrub such as ‘Sunshine Blue’ may be more suitable. Blueberry ‘Sunshine Blue’ will have an eventual size of only 1m high and half as wide, making it ideal for growing in smaller spaces or containers.With white flowers in spring that produce flavoursome sky blue blueberries from July to August, it looks great coming into autumn as its foliage turns red. Fruiting in July and then September, it will produce delicious dark blue berries on a compact shrub that will only grow to an eventual size of 1m high with a 0.75m spread.

Producing good size berries with a sweet flavour, it is no wonder it is so commonly grown not only domestically, but commercially as well. All of the varieties mentioned below must be grown in acidic, loam or sandy soil in full sun or part-shade in a sheltered location. Fruiting in July, ‘Patriot’ is an early-season blueberry that produces mid-blue coloured and medium-sweet berries with an excellent flavour. Improved insulin sensitivity may lower the risk of metabolic syndrome and type 2 diabetes, which are associated with a range of negative health outcomes ( 36). SummaryPruning is rarely needed in the first two years after planting – just remove any crossing or unwanted branches if necessary. With vigorous growth, it can reach a little over 1m in height and spread over time and, as with all blueberries, requires an ericaceous soil. I grow a couple of these in my garden, including V.‘Sunshine Blue’ and V. ‘Top Hat’, and these produce a large crop on relatively small bushes. For fruits to harvest later in the season, blueberry ‘Aurora’ produces large deep blue berries with a rich flavour from August into September. Also, they all bear fruit in the summer and are H6 hardy unless otherwise mentioned, meaning they can be grown in any and all areas of the UK throughout the year. 1) V. corymbosum‘Duke’
