A compact deciduous fruiting shrub known for its early-season berry production and tidy, upright growth habit. In spring, clusters of small white bell-shaped flowers appear, followed by medium-sized, sweet-tart blue berries in early summer. The berries have a classic blueberry flavor, perfect for fresh eating, baking, or preserves. Dark green summer foliage provides seasonal interest, turning shades of red and orange in fall for added ornamental value.
Valued for early harvest, manageable size, and edible fruit, it grows best in full sun and prefers moist, acidic, well-drained soil. Planting with other blueberry varieties can enhance pollination and increase fruit production, making it ideal for home gardens, containers, and small edible landscapes.
