Lowbush blueberries are a common variety grown in Canada, they grow from small bushes and thrive in northern climates. This variety is both sweet and tart. Cross pollination by having multiple blueberry bushes close in proximity leads to bigger yields. This species is more susceptible to some diseases but it is cold-hardy. The plant usually goes dormant in winter and starts flowering in April. | |
