Duke Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) is one of the most popular early-season blueberries, known for its reliable yields and excellent cold hardiness. It produces firm, flavorful berries early in the summer, making it a top choice for consistent harvests.
Growing 4–6 feet tall, Duke forms an upright, manageable shrub that is easy to grow in home landscapes. It performs best in full sun and acidic, well-drained soil, and benefits from cross-pollination for higher yields.
Best Uses: edible landscaping, backyard fruit production, home gardens
Why Choose Duke Blueberry: – Early season harvest – Reliable and productive – Cold hardy and adaptable – Excellent fruit quality
Ideal for homeowners looking for dependable early blueberries and consistent performance year after year.
Plant multiple blueberry varieties to improve pollination and extend your harvest season.

These were exactly what we were hoping for. The foliage has a really nice golden tint that brightens up our yard compared to the typical dark green arborvitae. Plants arrived healthy and planted easily. Very happy with the purchase.

The crew was very friendly and walked the property with me before planting so we could discuss where the trees would be planted. They were very thorough and left the property clean afterwards. Definitely recommend their installation service.
