Blueberry Bushes

We grow and sell the Patriot, Blueray Highbush, Bonus, Sunshine Blue, Perpetua, and Duke blueberry bushes. We chose to grow and sell this variety of blueberry bushes mainly because together they produce delicious blueberries in early, middle, and late spring and grow well in the Chester County Pennsylvania area. All of our blueberry bushes are started from cuttings or suckers off our blueberry bushes growing on our property.

A potted blueberry bush can be transplanted into the ground almost any time of the year since their root system is barely disturbed with little or no stress when transplanted from a pot.

Blueberry Health Benefits

Blueberries offer a multitude of health benefits due to their rich antioxidant content, fiber, and various vitamins and minerals. These benefits include improved memory and cognition, a healthier heart, better digestive health, and potential cancer prevention.

Cognitive Function: Studies suggest blueberries can help slow cognitive decline and improve memory and mood, especially in older adults.

Heart Health: Blueberries can help lower blood pressure, improve cholesterol levels, and reduce the risk of heart disease by fighting off free radicals and protecting blood vessels.

Digestive Health: Blueberries are a good source of fiber, which promotes healthy bowel movements, prevents constipation, and supports a thriving gut microbiome.

Antioxidant Power: Blueberries are packed with antioxidants, like anthocyanins and polyphenols, which help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases and promoting overall health.

Other Benefits: Blueberries can also contribute to muscle recovery, potentially aid in weight management, and may help protect against certain types of cancer.

Grow an abundance of blueberries and freeze plenty to enjoy throughout the year. It is easy to freeze blueberries and they are just as tasty and beneficial as freshly picked blueberries.

'Patriot' Blueberry (Vaccinum Corybosum)

The Patriot is a highbush blueberry variety known for its early ripening, large, sweet-tart berries, and attractive foliage. It's a moderately sized shrub, reaching about 4-6 feet tall and wide. While self-fertile, cross-pollination with other highbush varieties can increase yields. The Patriot produces large, medium blue berries that are sweet-tart and ripen in mid-season (late June), features dark green leaves that turn attractive shades of red and orange in the fall, and displays white, waxy, bell-shaped flowers in May. The Patriot is a multi-stemmed shrub with a moderate growth rate, typically reaching 4-6 feet tall and wide and prefers well-drained, acidic soil in full sun to partial shade. The Patriot is adaptable to various climate zones, including colder temperatures, and can tolerate wetter soils than some other varieties and usually becomes productive after 2-3 years. The Patriot is partially self-fertile, but cross-pollination with another northern highbush variety will result in a larger crop and is good overall disease and root rot resistant.

'Sunshine Blue' Blueberry (Vaccinium)

Sunshine Blue Blueberry is a well-adapted cold hardy blueberry variety that will thrive in a variety of climates and produce sweet berries that are rich in flavor. This semi-dwarf evergreen blueberry features a highly branched compact habit to 4 feet tall and wide.

We recommend letting fruit hang until it reaches a deep purple color for the best flavor. Sunshine Blue tolerates higher pH soils better than other blueberries and the height at maturity can be 3-4 feet.
