Blue Gold Blueberry Bush

The Blue Gold Blueberry Bush (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blue Gold') is a high-yielding variety known for its sweet, tangy, and aromatic berries. It produces medium to large, light blue fruit that ripen in mid to late summer. Blue Gold bushes thrive in USDA Zones 4-7 and require full sun, acidic, well-drained soil, and regular watering. The plant benefits from cross-pollination with another blueberry variety, such as Legacy or Patriot, to improve fruit production. Blue Gold bushes grow to about 3-4 feet in height and should be pruned annually to maintain shape and encourage better yields. This variety is also resistant to many common blueberry pests and diseases, though regular care is needed to prevent issues like root rot.
