Vaccinium corymbosum 'Northland'
Choose Northland Blueberry if you want a compact, cold-climate blueberry that earns its space with dependable crops. The tradeoff: it needs acidic soil and a second blueberry nearby for better production.
Buy This If
You want a hardy blueberry.
You can acidify the soil.
You will plant another blueberry.
Skip This If
Your soil runs sweet.
You want one self-reliant fruit shrub.
Deer browse your fruit plants heavily.
PGNE Report Card
Category
Grade
Why
Landscape Impact
B
It looks tidy and useful, but fruit production matters more than showy flowers or bold foliage.
Growth Rate
B
It grows at a steady pace without becoming a fast, screening-type shrub.
Maintenance
B-
Plan on soil acidity checks, mulch, watering during dry stretches, and occasional pruning.
Deer Resistance
C-
Deer readily browse this, so protect it or choose a more deer-resistant plant where pressure is heavy.
Small Space Fit
A-
Its compact, spreading habit fits smaller edible beds better than many fruiting shrubs.
Screening Value
D
This is a fruit shrub, not a privacy plant, and it drops leaves in winter.
Our Experience
At PGNE, we'd typically recommend Northland when the customer wants fruit first, not a show shrub. Buy two compatible blueberries, prep the soil correctly, and mulch well.

Customers Usually Ask
Do I need more than one?
Yes, plant another blueberry variety nearby for heavier crops.
Can it grow in regular garden soil?
Only if the soil is acidic enough and drains well.
Will birds take the berries?
Yes, use netting if you want the harvest.
Why Grow Your Own Edible Plants?
Fresh, Homegrown Flavor: Harvest fruits, berries, and herbs at peak ripeness—far fresher than store-bought options.
Functional & Beautiful: Many edible plants offer attractive blooms, foliage, and structure while producing food.
Long-Term Yield: Fruit trees and berry shrubs provide reliable harvests year after year once established.
Shrubs Grown to Perform in New England
At Pro Growers of New England, our shrubs are grown and maintained locally to perform in true New England conditions. From flowering varieties to evergreen foundation plants, each shrub is properly spaced, pruned, and cared for to develop strong root systems and balanced structure before it ever reaches your landscape.
Unlike large online sellers that ship plants long distances, we invite you to visit our nursery, walk the rows, and inspect the exact shrubs available. You can see the size, health, and fullness in person — ensuring there are no surprises upon delivery.
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.
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!

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!
