Vaccinium corymbosum 'Duke'
Choose Duke Blueberry if you want an early blueberry crop from a dependable highbush type; the main tradeoff is soil prep, because blueberries need acidic, well-drained ground to perform.
| Category | Grade | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Landscape Impact | B | Duke has a clean upright habit and edible value, but it is grown more for harvest than show. |
| Growth Rate | B | Its moderate growth is easy to manage while still building into a productive shrub. |
| Maintenance | B- | It is not fussy once sited correctly, but soil acidity, pruning, and bird protection matter. |
| Deer Resistance | C- | Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy. |
| Small Space Fit | C+ | It can work in a garden bed, but it needs enough room and at least one compatible blueberry nearby. |
| Screening Value | C | It offers seasonal cover, but it is deciduous and should not be treated as a privacy screen. |
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Duke as the early producer in a small blueberry planting, not as the only bush. Pair it with another variety and prep the soil before planting.

Showed up on time and planted it perfectly. I indicated a light we had to illuminate it and they placed it for optimal lighting. Worked fast and left a clean worksite. First rate!
Really great website, communication and installation. Very happy customer and would recommend them.
They delivered three trees: a big linden, a big poplar and a little spice bush with install on the big trees. The install guys were great and professional and fast. All the trees looked good with minimal damage.
I went up there today from Quincy MA to pick up two Blue Wichita Junipers and they were absolutely beautiful. Thank you, Chris and everybody from Pro Growers of New England!
The plants are beautiful and all 13 were consistent in height and width. And at a fraction of the cost of other garden centers. Having the team that delivered them do the planting was one of the best values I can think of. They did a great job from start to finish and even helped me with my watering system which they didn’t have to do!
They're very "leggy" right now but that's not unexpected in the fall. Otherwise, they look healthy, and we're looking forward to seeing them next year.
These look so good! They're nice and full and lush. Should be amazing next summer.
So far so good! Ordering was easy. So was pickup. We're looking forward to seeing how it does in the spring.
