Product Description
Enjoy Plentiful Blueberries Plus Renowned Taste!
When it comes to homegrown blueberries, you want want sweet, slightly firm berries in a brilliant blue color and a reliable, heavy crop year after year. Well, you're in luck because the Legacy Blueberry Bush offers all of that, plus more!
The Legacy Blueberry Bush lives up to its name because it was rated the tastiest blueberry on the market by the USDA. This renowned Blueberry Bush offers a high yield every year - sometimes even the first year it’s planted!
The Legacy Blueberry Bush is a standout addition to your landscaping and fruiting plants. In spring, it produces medium-sized, indigo berries that you can pluck right from the bush. By year two and onwards, you'll be enjoying a plentiful harvest of nutritious blueberries for snacking, desserts, jams - and sharing!
These blueberries aren’t the Legacy’s only offering, either. With its medium size and shape, one or more bushes can be used as a hedge or privacy screen. What’s more, the plant’s leaves turn a dramatic orangish-red in the fall - and retain this stunning color throughout winter.
The best-tasting blueberry with changing fall foliage? Yes, please! Order your Legacy Blueberry Bush today.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant the Legacy in well-draining, acidic soil and full sun. Dig a hole that is twice as large as the plant's root system. Set the plant’s root ball into the hole and fill with soil. Press the soil down around the plant’s roots to firm and remove all air pockets.
Finally, apply a three-inch layer of mulch around the bush to inhibit unwanted weed growth and keep the soil moist.
To grow in a container, plant in a pot that is twice as large as the plant’s root ball. The pot should have adequate drainage holes in the base to allow the water to drain from the soil. Fill the container with three inches of potting soil, place the root ball into the pot, and firm the soil around the plant’s roots.
2. Watering: Water the plant at least once per week to keep the soil moist, or check the soil about 2 inches down for dryness.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize with an acid fertilizer, and follow the directions on the fertilizer’s label for application ratios.
4. Pruning: For best fruiting, prune the oldest, lower branches on your Legacy Blueberry Bush in late winter.
