About Northland Blueberry Plants

Enjoy the sweet, juicy flavor of fresh blueberries right in your own backyard with our Northland blueberry plants. These hardy plants are known for their excellent tasting berries and winter hardiness. Growing best in hardiness zones 3-7, they can withstand cold temperatures and are ideal for a wide range of climates.

This is an early-season variety, ripening in July. The medium-sized, flavorful berries of the Northland are similar to wild blueberries with a high sugar content, making them a popular choice among berry lovers. They’re a delight when eaten fresh, and are preferred for jams, jellies, and sauces. You don’t have to use extra sweeteners with these blueberries. Freeze your crop to enjoy them throughout the seasons. You’re bound to have excess since Northland is a consistent and heavy producer.

How to Grow Northland Blueberries

The Northland Blueberry is one of the most cold-hardy highbush varieties. Developed by Michigan State University, Northland can produce consistent crops following harsh winters with negative temperatures.

To ensure a bountiful harvest, plant your Northland blueberry plants in well-draining soil and in an area that receives full. They can grow in partial shade but will likely produce a smaller crop. Blueberry plants prefer soil that is acidic with a pH range between 4.0 and 5.5. We recommend having your soil tested and amended ahead of planting.

One important aspect of growing Northland blueberry plants is ensuring that they are properly pollinated. These plants are self-fertile, but they will produce more fruit if they are cross-pollinated with another variety of blueberry.

These shrubs grow to a maximum size of four feet tall, and approximately the same width, making them a wonderful choice for small gardens and even large containers. Spring blooms, edible berries, and fall color add year-round interest to your landscape or patio.
