Overview & Description
The Combination Blueberry set (Vaccinium ‘Combination’) offers a convenient and effective way to ensure a bountiful blueberry harvest by including four carefully selected plants in one pot. This unique combination features Northsky, Northcountry, Chippewa, and Polaris blueberry varieties, each chosen for their complementary pollination needs and staggered fruiting seasons. By planting these varieties together, you enhance cross-pollination, leading to higher yields and healthier plants.
Northsky and Polaris are early to mid-season producers, offering sweet, flavorful berries, while Northcountry and Chippewa extend the harvest into late summer with their delicious, medium-sized fruit. This mix ensures a continuous supply of fresh blueberries from early summer through fall.
Growth & Size
These half-high hybrid varieties exhibit compact, bushy growth habits ideal for home gardens, getting between 3-4 feet in both height and spread. All thrive in acidic, well-drained soil and prefer full sun to partial shade.
Additional Notes
These varieties bloom in late spring with white flowers, followed by fruit ripening from early summer through late summer. Hardy to Zone 3, they provide excellent fall foliage color in shades of red, purple, and yellow-orange. Their compact size makes them suitable for small spaces or container gardening. With its easy-care nature and reliable fruit production, the Combination Blueberry set is a must-have for gardeners seeking a diverse and abundant blueberry harvest.
