About

A good tasting, early blueberry, with nice color foliage

Growing notes

Grown in a raised bed, acid soil mixed with peat moss, mulched with pine needles and pine prunings. It's got unique almost copper colored leafs, and stiking fall foliage, and makes a tasty berry, it's usually one of my earliest

A few berries left, they are incredible, so sweet. We definitely need to wait longer to harvest these, we jump in when they turn blue but they are flavorless early on, come August these guys are amazing
