Blueberry, Late Season - Jersey & Elliott
Jersey Blueberry: The Jersey blueberry is a late-season northern highbush variety treasured for its sweet flavor and small to medium-sized, deep blue berries. Known for its cold hardiness and consistent yields, Jersey is one of the oldest and most reliable cultivars. It thrives in full sun and acidic, well-drained soil, making it a favorite among home gardeners and commercial growers. Its berries are excellent for fresh eating, baking, and freezing.
Elliott Blueberry: The Elliott blueberry is an ultra-late-season northern highbush variety, often extending the blueberry harvest into late summer or early fall. It produces medium-sized, firm berries with a mildly tart flavor that sweetens as they ripen fully. This vigorous and productive plant requires full sun and acidic, well-drained soil. Elliott is ideal for fresh consumption, preserves, or baking, especially for those seeking a reliable late-season crop.
