High Bush Blueberry : ARLEN 1 gallon pot
$25.95
(Vaccinium corybosum)
We have selected Arlen as our latest ripening variety. Like Aurora and Elliot it can extend your harvest well into September, however Arlen offers a much sweeter berry with repeated pickings over the 3 week ripening period, total yield is quite high. Very firm, fine flavoured, medium to large fruit has long shelf life. Ideal for both fresh use or freezing.
Vigorous upright bush matures at 1.5-1.8m (5-6 ').

Growing Tips
Everyone would love to grow blue berries. You do need to be aware though that blueberries will be more judgmental of your soil than most plants. In some areas of the country (PEI for instance) the soil is naturally acidic, meaning it has a pH of 4.0-5.5. This is exactly what blueberries like. Here in southern Ontario our soil pH is more like 7.0-7.8. In these alkaline type soils some plants such as lingonberries and blueberries find it hard to access the nutrients that are in the soil. Amending the planting site with peat moss and/or using our Blueberry Booster product is recommended.
Every Whiffletree plant order includes a copy of our 'Planting For Success' guide. Check out the Blueberry section for suggestions.
