Draper Blueberry

A Northern Highbush Blueberry selected for disease-resistance and high yield.  Insignificant cream-coloured blooms attract pollinators in spring. High yields of large, crisp, sweet berries ripen mid-season.  Highly productive and recommended for self-picking.  Red-yellow fall colour provides multi-season interest.  Requires cross-pollination.

Growing & Maintenance Tips for Blueberry 'Draper'

Blueberry plants grow best in a well-drained, acidic moist soil, in full sun or partial shade. Most varieties require cross-pollination from another cultivar, but even for self-pollinating varieties fruit size and yield is improved by cross-pollination. After fruiting, prune out any branches more than 3 years old, to ensure subsequent fruit production.
