Duke Blueberry

This early-season, high-yielding, consistent variety needs a quality growing site and regular care using established cultural practices to ensure uniform-sized, quality fruit. Duke blueberries are known to be firm, large, and mild to slightly tart. Duke is a leading blueberry variety choice in the Mid-Atlantic region and for mechanical harvest. This variety blooms late but ripens early, which could protect the blossoms from spring frost.

Features:

• High Yielding: If given a quality growing site and cultural practice care, Duke is known for producing high yields of uniform-sized, firm, quality fruit. 
• Mechanical Harvest: Duke is a leading candidate for mechanical harvest and fresh and process sales. 
• Upright Growth Habit: Duke grows upright to a height of four to six feet.
