Blueberry Shrub Duke - P15 - ORG

It’s not without reason that the Blueberry Patriot (Vaccinium corymbosum) is one of the best-known blueberry varieties. Anyone looking for an organic blueberry bush that produces reliably and yields delicious fruit will soon turn to Patriot. The bush produces large, aromatic blueberries that taste best fresh from the plant. Of course, you can also use them in muffins, smoothies, jam or a breakfast with yoghurt, but chances are the first few handfuls will be gone before they even reach the table. Patriot is also known for its vigorous growth, large fruits and beautiful red autumn colours, making the plant a real asset to the garden even outside the harvest season.

Why do so many people choose Patriot?

Some fruit varieties fade into the background after a few years. Patriot has been popular for decades, and that’s no coincidence. The bush is self-pollinating, meaning a single plant can produce fruit on its own. However, as with many other blueberries, planting several varieties together often results in an even richer harvest and larger berries. This makes Patriot an excellent choice for anyone wishing to create an edible garden. Furthermore, the white, bell-shaped flowers in spring are not only beautiful to look at, but also attract plenty of pollinating insects.

A lovely plant for now and for the future

We supply this organic Blueberry ‘Patriot’ in a P15 pot: a lovely size in which the plant is already well-developed and deserves a place in the garden straight away. You’ll notice the characteristic upright growth of this variety right from the start, and with each passing season the bush becomes fuller and more lush. This means you’ll not only enjoy the harvest, but also a graceful fruiting shrub that shines in autumn with warm shades of red and purple.

A shrub that has something to offer every season

Patriot is more than just a source of blueberries. In spring, elegant flowers appear; in summer, the branches are laden with delicious fruit; and in autumn, the foliage turns a spectacular shade of red. This means you have something to look forward to almost all year round. Perhaps that is the greatest strength of this organic blueberry: it combines flavour, ornamental value and gardening pleasure in a single robust plant. That’s why Patriot has been a favourite for years amongst lovers of home-grown fruit – and a variety that you’ll enjoy watching grow for years to come.
