Description
Windsor Blueberry is a compact upright semi-evergreen shrub with a heavy production of large light blue blueberries that ripen in late spring to early summer. The deep green elliptical foliage turns fiery-red in fall. The white flower clusters bloom in spring. Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils. Windsor needs to cross-pollinate but has a low chill requirement of 300-400 hours.
