Blueberry 'Elliot'

Blueberry ‘Elliott’ (Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Elliott’) is a vigorous highbush variety celebrated for its late‐season bounty of firm, medium‐large berries that resist cracking and ship exceptionally well. In late spring, it’s cloaked in delicate white-pink blossoms, followed by glossy green foliage that often turns brilliant red in autumn. Ripening from August into September, ‘Elliott’ extends your fresh‐berry season when most varieties are done. It thrives in full sun on well-drained, acidic soil (pH 4.5–5.5) and reaches 1.2–1.8 m (4–6 ft) tall and wide. Hardy in Canadian zones 4–8, it’s self-pollinating but performs even better with nearby cultivars for maximum yields.
