Description
Thompson & Morgan Blueberry (Bluecrop) Range
An impressive, self-fertile, mid-season variety, that produces plenty of rich flavoured fruit in August. The plant itself is a fully hardy and compact shrub, that provides interest all year round for growers, with elegant white blooms appearing in spring, and colourful foliage set against red stems in the colder winter months. Blueberry “Bluecrop†is perfect for a smaller garden or a large pot on the patio.
Blueberries usually require a well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny or semi-shaded position. In areas where acid soil does not naturally occur, grow blueberry plants in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No.3.
If possible, blueberries should be watered with rainwater because the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidity in the soil time. Blueberries will begin to produce fruit in the third year. As fruits begins to develop, cover the plants with netting to protect the berries from birds. From their third year, begin to prune out the oldest stems each autumn to promote new growth and maintain a healthy plant framework.
