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.

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!
Very nice
Guys installed for me as well
Great job
Huge selection and fast delivery. All plants arrived in great condition.
Great prices and Unbelievable selection of big and small trees, shrubs, and flowering perennials! Nicest folks to work with. And local delivery is awesome! First time purchasing from this company, , and have already told friends, neighbors and family. The owner Chris is professional, knowledgeable, and yet laid back in a most friendly way. Mags in the office will help with any details. My all time BEST garden purchase EVER!
Bought 8-10 ft and all were barely 8 if you count the container. Trees are thin and lots of brown branches and broken branches due you thrown in box truck no wrapping or anything. Hoping they survive and thicken up quick…
