Blueberry 'Brigitta'


A vigorous, late season, deciduous Australian blueberry. It has an upright, sturdy bush, producing quality medium to large firm berries, that are sweet yet slightly tart. The light blue berries are held in low clusters, ready for picking towards the end of August. Berries have a firm and crisp bite and keep well. Growing to 1.5m tall and 1m wide.



Care


Mulch well to retain moisture. Both are suited to colder areas of Australia. Prune old stems and dead wood at end of winter. Great for growing in tubs and sheltered sun to part shade position.
