Herbert Blueberry Plant
Description
One of the finest cultivated blueberries. Nearly one-inch fruit is perfectly sweet with a tart blueberry zing. Fruit holds well and grows in large, light blue clusters on easy-to-pick branch tips. Late-blooming to avoid frost zaps. A mature, productive bush is truly a sight to behold! Developed in 1932, introduced in 1953. Cold-hardy. Ripens in late July. Self-pollinating, but will yield larger crops if pollinated with another blueberry variety.
