Patriot Blueberry Early. Vigorous, slightly spreading, short statured bush. Highly productive, bearing very large, medium blue, slightly flat fruit. Excellent flavor, small dry scar, firm if the weather is not too hot. This super hardy variety is also one of the heaviest producers. The berries hang in large clusters like grapes on the outer periphery of the bush. The bush is of low to medium stature with pliable branches that will yield to heavy snow loads in winter. Plants are easy to establish, tolerating less than ideal conditions such as wet or heavy soils. Berries are very large with fair fresh quality. Well suited for U-pick or farm sales in areas with colder winters or shorter growing seasons.
