Draper Blueberry

Vaccinium corymbosum (Draper)

Due to import restrictions, we are unable to ship blueberries to California.

'Draper' is a standout blueberry variety for mid to high-chill climates. This compact shrub grows to a height of about 4 feet, ripens early to mid-season, and produces highly productive yields, even from young plants. The fruit has exceptional quality, with firm, sweet berries that ripen uniformly, making them ideal for quick hand-picking. Since its introduction, Draper has become a leading choice for growers. It requires a space of 4-5 feet in diameter and thrives in USDA hardiness zones 5-8.
