It only grows in acid soil, sandy soil and peaty soil are suitable for this plant. If you want to place the plant in clay soil, you will have to add acidic soil in order for the plant to survive. It has thin branches and small fresh-green leaves. The blueberry blooms in clusters and the flower is white-cream to pink in colour. Flowering takes place in the first half of May. It is a strong plant and gives quite a lot of fruits. The berries are large, dark blue, firm and have a delicious taste. They contain many antioxidants, so super healthy! They can be picked from mid-July to mid-August. Fresh blueberries can be kept for a week, but you can also freeze them. This plant is completely self-pollinating and requires almost no care.
