Vaccinium corymbosum 'Nelson'
Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Nelson’, commonly known as the ‘Nelson’ blueberry, is a deciduous fruit shrub with an upright, vigorous habit, renowned for the exceptional quality of its fruit and its mid- to late-season harvest. In spring, it is covered in honey-scented, pinkish-white bell-shaped flowers that herald an abundant production. In summer, it offers large, light-blue blueberries with a silvery bloom, firm and juicy, with a rich, sweet, and intensely aromatic flavor, featuring a beautiful complexity and a slight vinous note. The fruits store well after harvesting and are suitable for both fresh consumption and processing. Its dark green foliage turns orange-red in autumn, adding significant decorative interest. Vaccinium corymbosum ‘Nelson’ requires acidic, organic-rich, and well-drained soil to ensure performance and longevity.
