Blue Gold Blueberry

Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blue Gold'
Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blue Gold' is a versatile and flavorful blueberry variety that produces abundant crops of large, firm, and sweet berries in mid-summer. This deciduous shrub grows up to 5 feet tall and wide, with glossy dark green leaves that turn shades of red and orange in the fall. In the spring, 'Blue Gold' produces clusters of small white-pink flowers that give way to a plentiful harvest of medium to large-sized blueberries in mid-summer. The berries are firm and sweet with a pleasingly tart finish, making them perfect for fresh eating, baking, or preserving. 'Blue Gold' is a self-fertile blueberry variety, meaning that it doesn't require another plant for pollination, but planting another variety nearby can increase berry production. This variety is also known for its vigorous growth, disease resistance, and cold hardiness, making it a good choice for gardeners in colder climates. 'Blue Gold' prefers acidic soil and full sun, but can tolerate partial shade. Overall, Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blue Gold' is an excellent blueberry variety for its delicious fruit, ease of growing, and adaptability to different growing conditions.
