The Bluegold blueberry is one of the most delicious and sweetest varieties of blueberries. While it is smaller than many other blueberry shrubs, they produce a bountiful harvest of easy-to-pick berries. This unique blueberry plant has flowers that start blooming in May. After the flowers have bloomed, they fall away and are replaced with light blue blueberries that ripen anywhere between late June and early July. You’ll know that your berries are ready for picking when they turn a light to medium blue color. Bluegolds are prized for the large to medium-sized berries that they produce. They’re known for the large batches of fruit each shrub can produce. They have one of the highest yields for blueberry bushes of their size, and they’re also one of the most dependable blueberry varieties. Like many other varieties of blueberries, the Bluegold Blueberry is self-pollinating. However, cross-pollination with other northern highbush blueberry varieties will produce bigger berries and larger crops per plant.
