Blueberry Elliott
Elliott is noted for producing fruit in very late season. It typically grows to 4 feet tall. Waxy, bell-shaped, white flowers bloom in late spring. Flowers are followed by medium/large, tangy blueberries that ripen in very late season. Ovate, medium green leaves (to 3" long) turn attractive shades of yellow-orange to red and purple in fall. Reddish stems can be attractive in winter.
Plants are very productive and grow vigorously and upright. Elliott is considered the latest of all varieties, fruiting through September. This variety is winter hardy. Berries are medium-sized, firm and have a light-blue color. Fruit needs to be picked fully ripe for best taste.
Although blueberries are self-fertile, cross-pollination produces the best fruit crop. Blueberries are delicious, exceptionally nutritious, high in bioflavanoids. Blueberries are a gourmet treat that may be eaten fresh or used in cobbler, cake, sauce, jam, jelly or syrup. Birds love blueberries so be sure to plant enough to share!
