About

Vaccinium spp. It is hard to turn down a fresh blueberry although these bushes can be more challenging to grow than other kinds of berries. Blueberries prefer more acidic soil so you will likely need to amend the soil or may want to grow them in pots or beds to maintain the conditions they like. We plant ours in a mix of 3 parts peat moss, 3 parts aged wood chips or bark fines, and 1 part worm castings. We offer three kinds of blueberries: Northern Highbush ( Vaccinium corymbosum ): Self-pollinating plants that get up to 2m tall. They tend to produce larger fruit and higher yields! Half-High ( V. corymbosum x V. angustifolium ): Self-pollinating plants that get 0.5-1m tall. A happy medium between highbush and lowbush blueberries! Lowbush ( V. angustifolium ): Smaller bushes that only get about 40cm tall, great if you are low on space or prefer container growing. Lowbush blueberries need to be planted with another lowbush blueberry variety for pollination. We offer flat-rate shipping across Canada* on all our blueberries , as well as a wide selection of heritage fruit trees and plants grown for Canadian climates.
