Why choose Vaccinium corymbosum Reka?
-
Delicious Organic Fruit: Produces firm, light-blue berries with a sweet, rich flavor. Harvest your fresh blueberries from mid-July to mid-August.
-
Ornamental Value: In May, the shrub is covered in clusters of white-cream to pink flowers. In autumn, the fresh green leaves transform into a stunning orange-red display before falling.
-
Self-Pollinating: This variety is completely self-pollinating and requires very little care, making it perfect for both beginner and experienced gardeners.
-
Storage: Fresh blueberries can be kept for up to a week in the fridge or easily frozen for later use in smoothies and baking.
Care Instructions:
-
Light: Prefers a sunny to partially shaded spot. More sun usually results in sweeter fruit.
-
Watering: Keep the soil moist, especially during the flowering and fruiting seasons. Blueberries prefer consistent moisture.
-
Soil: While 'Reka' is adaptable to various soil types, blueberries generally prefer slightly acidic, well-drained soil.
-
Maintenance: Almost maintenance-free. Pruning is only necessary to remove dead wood or to maintain the desired shape.
