SWEETHEART HIGH BUSH BLUEBERRY

(3 customer reviews)

Price range: $26.95 through $46.95

The first blueberry of the season! This newer variety boasts consistent high yields of medium-large, sweet and juicy, powdery-blue berries. Sweetheart fruit also has excellent shelf life - the attractive, extra firm berries hold their fresh, aromatic flavour longer than most others. Another unique Sweetheart attribute is its ability to produce a secondary crop in the fall, if you have a long summer. Vigorous and robust bush grows to 150-180 cm (5-6') tall and 90-100 cm (3') wide.

Growing Tips

Blueberries Growing Tip

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.


Product Overview
Blueberries (Vaccinium spp) Blueberries are exceptionally nutritious and delicious! They are ideal for eating fresh, baking and freezing. The plants themselves are exceedingly ornamental, bringing excitement and colour to the landscape throughout the seasons.

What is Orchard Grade?

An 'orchard grade' is a tree that may be somewhat shorter, slightly crooked, or a bit scratched, or for some other reason is not a perfect front lawn specimen. These trees will work just as well in an orchard as a first or number one would, since they still produce the very same fruit.

What is a 2 year old tree?

A '2 year old tree' is one that has grown an extra season in our nursery field.

All our trees are planted in the field in the spring as rootstock. They are grafted in August of the 1st year. Most of our trees are dug out in November of the 2nd year. Some trees are in the ground for another season. We dig these in November of the 3rd year. These are considered to be '2 year old trees'.

A '2 year old tree' has bigger roots, a thicker trunk, and more branching (They might start fruiting a year earlier).
