Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
Plant Duke Blueberry in full sun and acidic, well-drained soil. If your soil is neutral or alkaline, amend it with peat moss, pine bark, or an acid-based planting mix. Water consistently during fruiting and mulch to help maintain moisture and keep roots cool. Prune in late winter to remove old, woody canes and promote vigorous new growth. Duke is self-pollinating, but pairing it with another highbush variety will increase your yield and fruit size. Its early ripening makes it the perfect way to kick off your summer berry harvest.
