Aurora Blueberry

Aurora is a late-season variety known for extending the blueberry harvest, ripening about five days after Elliott. It produces high yields of large, firm berries with excellent shelf life and uniform color. Aurora is valued in both commercial and fresh market operations for its ability to deliver quality fruit at the very end of the season. Plants are vigorous, upright, and can reach four to six feet in height.
