a popular, easy-to-grow Northern Highbush variety known for its late-season harvest of sweet, medium-sized, dark blue berries, ideal for baking, offering excellent fall color and ornamental value with tall, upright plants (5-8 ft) that thrive in full sun, highly acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5), and require good drainage and consistent moisture, benefiting greatly from a pollinator partner for larger yields.
