Elliott Blueberry

Commercial
 
 

Elliott has the potential for berries through September, making it an ideal season extender for U-pick and roadside/fresh market operations. Elliott’s berries are medium-sized, firm, and have a light blue color. The fruit can be quite tangy unless picked fully ripe. This variety is productive, very vigorous, and winter hardy. The late bloom period that avoids most spring frosts and the typically heavy bud set warrants extra pruning, but the bountiful crops of fruit are worth the effort.

  • Late Season: Elliott has the potential for berries through September, making it an ideal season extender for U-pick and roadside/fresh market operations.
