Blueberries like cherries: one leads to another! The American blueberry plant is deciduous, that is, it loses its foliage during the period of vegetative rest. It has an erect shrub bearing, with shoots (suckers) that grow from the base of the plant or from the collar. It has a superficial and expanded root system, with two types of roots. The big ones, which the plant uses to accumulate reserve substances and anchor to the ground. And the fine ones, useful for absorbing nutrients into the soil with speed. The fruits, the blueberries, are globular bright blue berries, with a light pruinose patina that makes them lighter. The pulp is soft, greenish-white in color, with a taste between sweet and sour, more or less intense.

TREATMENT: It has excellent resistance to cold, managing to withstand even temperatures of -30 ° C. The blueberry fears more the returns of spring cold, especially in the flowering phase. Blueberry is a very demanding plant in terms of soil. It is an acidophilic species, which grows well in acidic soils. To cultivate blueberries, the utmost attention must be paid to the aspects of irrigation: it has a high water need in the vegetative and fruit ripening phases.
