Bluecrop is a midseason Northern Highbush blueberry with medium-to-large, light-blue berries. The fruit is firm, resists cracking, and has a balanced blueberry flavor when fully ripe. Vigorous, upright plants are widely grown in home and commercial plantings.
Bluecrop Blueberry Highlights
- Harvest: Midseason; timing varies by climate.
- Fruit: Medium to large, light blue, firm, with a small picking scar.
- Plant habit: Vigorous, upright, and open; typically 4–6 feet with pruning.
- Climate fit: Listed for USDA Zones 4–8 with a 500–1,000-hour chill range.

Pollination
Bluecrop is generally self-fertile, but a second Northern Highbush cultivar with overlapping bloom can improve berry size and yield. Consider Bluegold or Draper.
Planting and Care
Plant in full sun and acidic, well-drained soil, ideally around pH 4.5–5.5. Maintain even moisture and mulch the shallow root zone. Bluecrop can overcrop, so annual pruning and fruiting-wood renewal help maintain berry size. Allow berries to color and sweeten fully before picking; fruit can remain tart when picked early or when plants carry too much crop.
