Overview & Description

Northland Blueberry (Vaccinium ‘Northland’) is a hardy, low-spreading shrub prized for its large quantities of medium-dark blue fruit with a true wild berry flavour. This hybrid is specifically bred for sub-zero climates, offering reliable fruit production even in harsh winter conditions. The mid-to-late season berries ripen after Northblue, extending the blueberry harvest. Scarlet-red fall foliage adds striking ornamental value to this productive fruiting shrub.

Growth & Size

This variety exhibits a low, spreading, rounded growth habit. It is a moderate-growing shrub, typically reaching a mature size of about 4 feet in height with a spread 36 – 48 inches.

Additional Notes

It blooms in spring, with fruit ripening mid-to-late season. Hardy to Zone 2, it prefers moist, acidic soil. Better yields are achieved with cross-pollination from another blueberry variety. An outstanding choice for home orchards, edible landscapes, mass plantings, and cold-climate gardens where abundant medium-blue fruit, wild berry flavour, sub-zero hardiness, and scarlet-red fall foliage are desired.
