This time-tested late-season variety (ripening mid to late summer) is prized for its reliable high yields of medium-sized, dark-blue berries with outstanding sweet flavor—perfect for fresh eating, pies, baking, or freezing, often considered one of the sweetest classics.
Plant it this year in full sun, provide proper care (including pinching off early flowers to strengthen roots), and it will settle in strongly—typically delivering your first modest harvest next year, with abundant crops developing thereafter. Hardy in zones 4-7, with late blooms that dodge spring frosts, it's a top choice for reliable, productive home gardens!
Duke blueberry is largely self-pollinating—it can set fruit on its own. However, planting compatible pollinator partners nearby significantly improves fruit set, berry size, yield, and overall quality through cross-pollination. Best pollinators: Bluecrop, Blueray, Duke, Elliott
