Description
VACCINIUM corymbosum BLUEBERRY Hortblue Petite 3L
An outstanding new variety! The worlds first two-cropping blueberry, producing its first crop in July, followed by a second in September.

Eventual height: 1m. Eventual spread: 80cm. Cropping season: July & September. Self fertile, but cross pollination will encourage a greater yield.
