The Highbush Blueberry bush (Vaccinium corymbosum) is a tall upright, multi-stem deciduous fruit-producing shrub that offers multi-season visual interest along with edible fruit and high pollinator support. Second only to low-bush blueberry in economic importance, high-bush blueberry has long been cultivated for its delicious fruit. 

Although blueberries are self-fertile, planting multiple cultivars that bloom at the same time will lead to larger berries and a higher yield. Extend your harvest by planting early, mid-, and late-season blueberry varieties, which will make the fruit season run from June to mid-September. When planting and the year after, remove all flowers so that the shrub can focus on root and shoot growth. The third year after planting you can prune in the late winter to remove dead wood and maintain the shape of the shrub. 

It hosts many different butterflies, such as the Striped Hairstreak, Spring Azure, Brown Elfin, Henry’s Elfin.
