The Bluegold Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluegold') is a standout Northern Highbush variety known for its dependably productive nature and cold-hardiness. This mid-season blueberry bush offers concentrated ripening periods, making harvests convenient and bountiful.

With bell-shaped, bright white flowers in spring and golden-yellow foliage in the fall, Bluegold adds aesthetic appeal to any garden or landscape. It's self-pollinating, yet planting it alongside additional varieties can significantly increase yields, enhancing your edible landscape.
