This deciduous shrub has an upright, open habit and produces medium-sized, juicy blue berries perfect for fresh eating or baking. Recommended for USDA Hardiness Zones 4-7, it thrives in temperatures ranging from 35°F to 85°F and prefers acidic, well-drained soil. It exhibits outstanding fall foliage color ranging from fiery red to orange shades, adding seasonal interest to any garden. Flowering occurs in late spring with clusters of delicate white or pink blooms, leading to fruit production by midsummer. Mature plants reach a height of 4-6 feet and are drought-tolerant once established but appreciate regular watering for optimal fruit yield. Bluecrop is moderately deer-resistant and requires full sun for best production, making it a reliable and productive choice for blueberry enthusiasts.
