Recent studies have suggested that consuming blueberries can enhance balance, coordination and short term memory, while improving urinary tract function and reducing cholesterol. Research also indicates that the extremely high level of antioxidants in blueberries may slow the aging process and may help in preventing cancer and heart disease.
Blueberries are technically self-fertile but tend to set better when 2 different varieties are planted together. Or choose 1 early, 1 midseason and 1 late ripening blueberry variety to have fresh fruit over a 3 1/2 month period. Simply freeze the surplus to ensure a year round supply. With our large selection of varieties, there are plants suited to most locations in the U.S.
Blueberries appreciate a good mulch. Use sawdust, compost or any other organic material. Reapply it every winter or spring. They like an acid soil, high in organic matter. If your soil tends to be more alkaline and/or is lacking in organic matter, add a generous amount of peat moss. |
