- Tasting Notes: Sweet and tangy flavour
- Self-Fertile: Self Fertile
- Planting: Choose a sunny, sheltered spot with well-drained, acidic soil. If planting in the ground, dig a hole twice the size of the root ball and mix in ericaceous compost. For container planting, use a pot at least 30cm in diameter filled with ericaceous compost.
- Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during dry periods. Use rainwater when possible, as tap water can be too alkaline.
- Feeding: Apply a high-nitrogen, ericaceous fertiliser in late winter. For container plants, feed monthly with a liquid ericaceous fertiliser from April to September.
- Pruning: In the first two years, minimal pruning is needed. Thereafter, prune during the dormant season to remove dead or crossing branches and to maintain shape.
- Mulching: Apply an annual mulch of pine bark or sawdust to help maintain soil acidity and moisture.
- Harvesting: Berries are ready to pick when they are fully blue and come away easily from the stem, typically in mid-July.
