Bluecrop

Bluecrop is a northern highbush blueberry released by the USDA in 1952 and long regarded as the industry standard against which other varieties are measured. This midseason cultivar produces large, firm, light blue berries in heavy clusters and is prized for its consistent yields, wide adaptability and excellent cold hardiness to USDA zone 4. The upright, vigorous bushes reach about five to six feet and are notably drought tolerant once established. Bluecrop is the most widely planted highbush blueberry in the world, valued by commercial growers and home gardeners alike for its reliability, attractive fruit and good disease tolerance. It is a dependable choice and a useful pollinizer for other midseason types.
