A great blueberry plant for colder climates. Produces big clusters of large, all-purpose berries - perfect in salads or pies, or served with cream. Developed in 1934, introduced in 1941. Cold-hardy. Ripens in July. Self-pollinating, but will yield larger crops if pollinated with Jersey or Earliblue. Attracts birds and butterflies.
