Description

Legacy Highbush Blueberry is a late season heavy producer with high productivity due to an extended five-week harvest season. The medium-large size medium blue color berries are very sweet with excellent flavor. A vigorous grower, the bush has glossy green foliage that changes to vibrant orange shades in the fall holding through winter in warmer climates. Legacy is self-fertile however another late season highbush variety can increase yield and berry size. A fine addition to the home orchard or edible landscape.

Origin

Legacy originated from a a cross of Elizabeth x US 75 (Vaccinium darrowi, Florida 4B, x Bluecrop) made at Beltsville MD by Draper and was selected in 1976 in Weymouth. Legacy is one-fourth V. darrowi, a low-chilling species native to southeastern United States.

NOTE: All of our fruit plants are grown in containers outdoors so they are fully rooted and landscape-ready upon arrival.

Growing Preferences

Blueberry plants grow best in an acidic (pH of 4.8 to 5.2), organically rich, moist, well-drained soil in full sun to part shade. The more sun the better for best berry production. The shallow, fibrous roots of blueberry plants like a consistently moist but well-drained soil which can be provided by with a layer of organic mulch. Although blueberries are self-fertile, cross-pollination produces the best fruit crop (larger berries and larger yields). Therefore it is best to plant more than one variety that will bloom at the same time. Blueberry season can be extended by planting early, mid-season and late varieties. Make sure to plant two different cultivars/varieties for each season. USDA Zones: 5a-8b Find Your Zone >
