11 years ago

I am looking for zone 3 blueberry varieties to grow.

Preferably several varieties producing early, mid and late.\

Also any suggestions as to where to catalog order would be wonderful?

Low bush blueberries should be rock solid in zone 3.

I bought Burgundy variety blueberry at a local nursery a few years ago. Its hardy to zone 2. I keep them in containers to control soil ph, so I go a few zones lower to insure they survive winters. They have thrived and given berries every year as a low grow, wide-spreading bush (went from 12" high X 8" wide when purchased to 18" x30" 3yrs) I also heard Northsky is good for zone 3. I see it sold here but haven't bought yet since Burgundy and a Tophat variety have exceeded my expectations.

I just checked my Patriot blueberry and it says zone 3 also. It will get 4ft tall. The largest berries of the 3, from medium to quarter sized. Its produced for 3yrs in planter I just moved to a barrel.
