Blueberries are one of the healthiest fruits and they are easy to grow! Plant an edible border and enjoy the crops of tasty berries all summer long. Remember to pick and freeze some for your smoothies and baked treats. In the fall, enjoy the extra garden interest as these shrubs change colour and show off their deep-red branches all winter long. This collection of Northern Highbush blueberries will produce large crops of healthy, flavourful fruit.
