As the name suggests, Northland Blueberry is a cold-hardy variety developed to thrive in northern climates. Its moderately firm, flavorful berries grow in long, loose clusters, providing plenty to enjoy fresh or in muffins, pies, jams, and preserves. Flexible branches withstand heavy snow loads, while its low stature and spreading growth habit makes this productive blueberry an attractive addition to edible landscapes and wildlife plantings.

  • • All blueberries must have moist, acidic soil to flourish
  • • Flowers provide valuable nectar for pollinators while berries attract birds and other wildlife to the garden
  • • Self-pollinating; an optional pollinating partner may increase yields
