Description
Vaccinium Corymbosum Jersey’ is also called blueberry or American blueberry. It is a vigorous growing shrub that requires little maintenance. It produces medium-sized, dark blue berries with a fresh, sweet taste. The plant prefers a sunny spot and needs an acid soil to grow. Otherwise, the plant will not produce much fruit and may even die. The blueberry blooms in May with white-pink flowers which then turn into berries. The berries can be harvested in August. This species is very Hardy and can withstand temperatures up to -28 degrees Celsius without problems. In the autumn, the leaves change into a beautiful red colour, after which it loses its leaves. The blue berries contain anthocyanin, a substance that gives the berry its blue colour. This substance has a good effect on the heart and blood vessels. The colouring agent can, among other things, ensure that fat accumulation in the blood vessels is reduced, which improves the blood circulation. In addition, blueberries contain antioxidants. These play an important role in the ageing process. Antioxidants have an anti-inflammatory effect, lower cholesterol and protect against various diseases, such as cancer. In short, a super healthy berry that everyone wants in their garden!
