Blueberry
Blueberry Goldtraube
This is a delicious, juicy, heavy-cropping variety with a vigorous, upright habit and fresh, light green, serrated leaves that take on striking shades of red, orange and golden-yellow in the autumn. It produces an abundance of large, firm, fine-flavoured aromatic fruits which ripen from July to August and are extremely nutritious, offering high vitamin contents. These are ideal for deep freezing as they retain their flavoursome taste exceptionally well and don’t turn your lips blue. Delicate clusters of stunning, pinkish-white, bell-shaped flowers are also borne from April to May and help to add colour and interest to the garden when the plant is not fruiting. It is an extremely robust and reliable variety which forms a strong, multi-branched framework and is suitable for container growing

Other Features:
As it’s not self-pollinating you’ll need more than one in your garden to generate a large production of fruit (we recommend growing them in groups of 2 or 3 for best results). Tolerant of frost, drought and shoot-wilt disease, it is a favourite with gardeners and cooks alike and is sometimes used for commercial cultivation

Fully hardy: stands a temperature down to -15°C
Garden Care:
Incorporate plenty of ericaceous compost into the planting hole and remove any dead or damaged branches in winter. We’d also recommend applying a generous amount of multi-purpose feed and top-dressing with ericaceous compost in spring
