Duke Blueberry

If you’re an experienced gardener looking for a reliable blueberry plant, Duke is for you! With regular care from a knowledgeable green thumb, Duke will reward you with lots of large, mild (slightly tart) blueberries, perfect for fresh eating or baking into a delicious dessert. Duke is a top choice for home gardeners in the Mid-Atlantic region, as it blooms late but ripens early, helping to protect blossoms from spring frost.

• Why Choose Duke? Experienced gardeners choose Duke because it consistently produces lots of large, mild (slightly tart) berries early in the season.  
• What to Expect: While it ripens early, Duke blooms late, which helps protect blossoms from spring frost. It is also important to know that Duke grows to a height of four to six feet. Be sure to pick a quality growing site and give lots of attention and care to get Duke to produce considerable uniform-sized, quality fruit. Follow Nourse Farms’ Planting and Success Guide for growing guidance.  
• Recommended Growing Zones: Best suited for hardiness zones 4–8
