Richie's survival guide

Berry good to meet ya!

You may have heard of the Dukes of Cambridge or Sussex, but have you heard of the Blueberry Duke!? If the answer is no, then you’re in for a real sweet treat. To the dismay of his family, young Richie here (formerly known as Richard III) hung up his royal duties a few years back to pursue his dream of becoming a world renowned pastry chef. Croissants, eclairs, cannoli - you name it! Blueberry Pie is his specialty and if you ask us, we prefer a pastry prince to a stuffy HRH - but nobody asked and that’s okay too I guess… Happy picking!

How to care for Richie

The Northcountry blueberry bush produces small berries that are a bit smaller than the Duke variety but equally tasty and plentiful. These can be used as hedges when planted in a row. Pollination happens most effectively when blueberry bushes are close in proximity of one another, be sure to consider buying at least two. Blueberry plants are big fans of acidic soil, so consider checking the pH of your garden soil before planting. Blueberry plants will produce the most blueberries when in full sun, but can also tolerate partial shade. They are cold hardy plants and can tolerate temps down to about -30 degrees C (brrr!). First, in springtime, you’ll be treated to delicate, bell-shaped, white flowers that make way for the delicious berries that ripen early in late spring or early summer (yum!).
