A compact deciduous fruiting shrub known for its reliable early-season berry production and neat, upright growth habit. In spring, clusters of small white bell-shaped flowers appear, followed by medium-sized blue berries in early summer. The berries are sweet with a mild, slightly tangy flavor, excellent for fresh eating, baking, or preserves. Dark green summer foliage turns attractive shades of red and orange in fall, adding seasonal interest to the landscape.
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 improves pollination and fruit set, making it ideal for home gardens, containers, and small edible landscapes.
