About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

Patriot is especially frost hardy and copes better with heavier, wetter soils than many other varieties, good for rough locations at your place. It stays compact and upright and carries large, slightly flattened berries early. The pretty flowers make it an ornament to look at as well. Self-fertile, but more productive with a pollinator.

Sweet, aromatic and juicy with a strong blueberry character. Best fresh from the bush; the larger berries are also excellent for baking.
