Blueberry 'Elliot'

Blueberry plants can be long lived. They  grow best in full sun with a well-drained, acidic, moist soil. Fewer flowers are produced in shadier spots. Fruit size and production is improved when two or more cultivars are planted together. A 4 year old bush may produce more than 400g of fruit. After fruiting, prune out any branches more than 4 years old, to ensure subsequent fruit production. 'Bluecrop' produces midseason. Plants are vigorous, upright, open and hardy. Fruit clusters are loose; berries are light blue, large in size, very firm, with a good, slightly tart flavor. Fall leaf color is a medium dark red.
