Blueberry 'Gold Traube' 3l

Heavy cropping variety with a vigorous upright habit.  Huge crops of large firm fruits with an aromatic flavour.  Crops July/August.  The delicious berries are high in vitamins and ideal for freezing as they maintain their flavour.  Superb display of pinky white, bell-shaped flowers in spring and outstanding autumn colour add to its appeal.  This robust and reliable variety is also ideal for container growing. 

This plant is supplied in a 3l pot but is not necessarily pot-grown.   

Plant 1.5m (5ft) apart in rows 2m (6ft) apart.

Plant in an open sunny spot in a moist acid, but well-drained soil.  Can also be sucessfully grown in pots with ericaceous compost. 

Planting:
Soak the root-ball before planting.  Plant in a hole twice the diameter of the root-ball or pot.  Mix an organic soil improver and general fertiliser with the infill soil.  Water regularly with lime-free water until established. 

After Care:
Thin out dense bushes by reducing branches by one-third every 2-3 years in winter.  Apply a general fertiliser in spring.
