Blueberry 'Trio Collection' contains three high-yielding varieties that will supply your garden with delicious berries and good looks! Both ornamental and productive, they will be equally at home in your shrub borders, veggie plot or allotment.
Our trio includes both early and late varieties, so you can feast on a succession of sweet, juicy berries from July to August. Blueberries are packed with health-boosting compounds and are especially delicious in pies, muffins and jams. These sturdy shrubs not only produce high crops of berries, but make attractive features for acidic borders or large patio containers filled with ericaceous compost. In spring they bear masses of sweetly scented creamy white flowers, followed by fiery foliage in the autumn.
Blueberry 'Trio Collection' comprises the following varieties:
- Blueberry ‘Bluegold’ - Mid to late season (late July- August). High-yielding, vigorous, upright bush bearing large clusters of dark blue, medium-sized berries. Very sweet flavour and a good shelf life. Golden autumn foliage and yellow stems.
- Blueberry ‘Osorno’ - Early to mid-season variety (July). Vigorous, highly productive variety that is popular with commercial growers. Medium-sized, light blue fruit with good flavour and firmness. Very heat tolerant.
- Blueberry ‘Draper’ – Mid to late season (late July to mid-August). Another popular commercial variety. Very large, medium-blue, firm fruit with a longer shelf life. Upright, branching growth. Good winter hardiness and late to flower, so buds are less susceptible to frost damage.
Self-fertile, but like all Blueberries they will produce their best crops if grown with another Blueberry to increase pollination.
Height: 1.8m (6ft). Spread 1.5m (5ft).
Estimated time to best yields: 28-32 months (16-20 months for 3l potted plant).

Plant height and spread is seasonal therefore we list by pot size rather than a defined plant size. The height and spread of the plant delivered will vary depending on the season, meaning arrival images are an indication only.
Growing Information
Blueberries require a well drained, acid soil in a sunny or semi shaded position. In areas where acid soil does not naturally occur, grow blueberry plants in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3.
