Zone: 4
Exposure: Sun
‘Duke’ is a highbush cultivar that flowers late but fruits early (early to mid-June), producing an abundant crop of medium to large, light blue blueberries. Berries have a mildly sweet flavor.
Ovate, dark green leaves (to 3.5” long) turn attractive shades of yellow and orange in fall.
There are no serious insect or disease problems.
Fruit size and production is improved when two or more cultivars are planted together. After fruiting, prune out any branches more than 4 years old, to ensure subsequent fruit production.
Blueberries grow best in well-drained, acidic soil.
