Description

Three cold-hardy fruits, one complete planting. This starter bundle pairs two proven blueberry varieties with a vigorous pear tree – all selected for cold hardiness, covering ground level to 15 ft.

What’s inside:

  • 8028A – Blueberry Northland (High Bush) – 1 Plant
  • 8030A – Blueberry Northblue (Low Bush) – 1 Plant
  • 8045A – Golden Pear Tree – 1 Tree
  • 8024A – Blueberry Blue Gold (High Bush) – 1 Plant

Every variety in this bundle was chosen for cold hardiness. The Northland and Northblue blueberries are both hardy crosses bred from wild low-bush stock, giving them the resilience to thrive in tough Prairie winters while still delivering generous yields – 15 lbs and 5 lbs per mature plant respectively. Blue Gold rounds out the blueberry selection with large, flat-clustered berries that are easy to pick clean. The Golden Pear Tree is a seedling of Ure selected specifically for improved vigor and cold hardiness; it matures 10-14 days ahead of its parent, produces 2 in. golden fruit excellent for fresh eating, and puts on showy white spring flowers before developing into a 15 ft specimen with good fall colour. Together the four plants create a tiered planting – from the 2 ft Northblue at ground level, through the 4 ft Northland and Blue Gold mid-layer, up to the Golden Pear canopy – delivering both blueberries and pears from a single starter order.
