Blueberry 'Patriot' is celebrated for its exceptionally large and flavourful berries, coupled with consistently high yields. As an early-season variety, it often ripens in mid- to late July, making it one of the first blueberries ready for harvest. The berries develop on bushy, relatively compact plants that exhibit remarkable cold hardiness, thriving in cold, wet soils and displaying better resistance to root rot compared to other varieties. Beyond its fruiting prowess, 'Patriot' enhances the garden with its ornamental appeal. In spring, the bushes burst into bloom with white, waxy blossoms, followed by a stunning display of fiery red and orange foliage in autumn. These qualities make it a versatile addition to any landscape, whether grown in garden beds or in pots filled with ericaceous compost on a sunny patio. With a height and spread of 120cm to 150cm (4 to 5 feet), 'Patriot' offers a manageable size for both garden and patio cultivation. While self-fertile, it benefits from cross-pollination, so planting another blueberry variety nearby can enhance fruit production. For gardeners seeking a bountiful harvest of delicious blueberries and vibrant seasonal interest, 'Patriot' stands as an excellent choice.
