Experience the best of both beauty and bounty with the Northland Highbush Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Northland'), a hardy, deciduous shrub that combines cold tolerance with heavy fruit production. Known for its ability to thrive in colder climates, Northland produces an abundance of small to medium-sized, sweet blueberries that are perfect for fresh eating, freezing, or baking. These berries ripen mid-season, offering a reliable and generous harvest every year.
Beyond its exceptional fruiting, the Northland Blueberry is an attractive addition to the garden. In spring, delicate clusters of bell-shaped, white flowers attract pollinators and bring a soft elegance to the landscape. As the season progresses, its dense, glossy green foliage provides a lush, full appearance, transitioning to vibrant shades of red, yellow, and orange in the fall. This multi-season beauty thrives in acidic, well-drained soils and is perfect for use in edible gardens, borders, or as a striking hedge.

Frequently Asked Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What are native plants, and why should I choose them for my garden?
Native plants are species that have naturally evolved and adapted to a specific region over time. They are well-suited to local climate conditions, soil, and wildlife. Choosing native plants for your garden benefits the environment by supporting pollinators, conserving water, and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Plus, they tend to be more resilient and require less maintenance than non-native species.
2. Do you ship plants year-round?
Yes, we ship plants year-round, depending on their dormancy and growing seasons. However, availability can vary based on the time of year and the specific region.
