Blueberry (Vaccinium) ‘Duke’ 3 Gal

Blueberry 'Duke' - Early Season
Vaccinium corymbosum 'Duke'

Productive and beautiful! Large tangy-sweet berries are a treat to eat fresh or in desserts. Handsome bush with three seasons of interest: white, pink-tinged spring flowers; large, light blue summer fruit; vibrant orange and yellow fall foliage is wonderful in fall. Strong, vigorous plants with sturdy buds and stems handle fluctuating temperatures well.
