Blueberry Orchard

Growing a blueberry plant is like having a fresh blueberry stand right in your backyard. MGM Family Orchard offers an impressive selection of blueberry varieties for you to choose from. These antioxidant-rich berries, can be eaten fresh, baked into a pie, mixed into a fruit salad, or served with cream or added as a treat to your cereal or oatmeal in the morning. In addition to their taste, blueberry plants feature lovely flowers in the spring and stunning foliage in fall making our orchard beautiful to walk thru during these times.
See our chart of Blueberry varietals

	Bluetta Blueberry Ripens with Earliblue. Medium sized dark blueberries with tangy blueberry flavor. Bluetta yields more than Earliblue and is more adaptable to colder climates or areas with late spring frosts. The dense globe form and scarlet red fall foliage make Bluetta an excellent selection for landscaping and eating.
	Duke Blueberry Large light blue berries with mildy sweet flavor. This attractive berry is quite firm and retains its fresh quality longer than most varieties. Duke blooms late but ripens early which protects the blossoms from spring frost. It is one of the heaviest, most consistent producers, often yielding more than 20 pounds per bush when mature. Duke bushes are upright growers but the branches will droop to the ground when laden with fruit. The foliage turns yellow-orange in fall.
	Patriot Blueberry Quarter-size berries! This variety is big and bountiful. The largest early-season blueberry. The fruit has an outstanding flavor and is super-hardy. As a landscape bonus, the plant features snowy blossoms in early summer and stunning orange leaves in fall. Cold-tolerant. Self-pollinating, but will yield larger fruit if you plant more than one.
	Blueray Blueberry Each of our Blueray Blueberry plants produce up to 20 pounds of blueberries on each bush! This abundant producer will give you buckets of delicious, aromatic, light blue berries that won’t crack. Leaves on the plant turn a beautiful scarlet color in fall. Cold-tolerant. Ripens in July. Self-pollinating.
	Bluejay Blueberry
	Northland Blueberry
	Bluecrop Blueberry
	Nelson Blueberry
	Rubel Blueberry
	Elliot Blueberry Big and flavorful. This late-season variety will give you ½” berries that are firm, easy-to-pick and perfect for fresh eating or cooking. Lovely pink-tinged flowers in the spring. Cold-tolerant. Ripens in August. Self-pollinating.
