  • Blueberry 'goldtraube'

    Can anybody tell me if this variety of blueberry is self fertile or does it require other blueberry plants for pollination?
    I have tried checking for info,some info says they are and some info says they're not!
    Thanks.

    Jackson Nurseries say not

    Victoriana says yes

    Bakker says not

    this may explain the confusion:

    Blueberries are partly self fertile and you will get a crop even if you have only one plant, however, commercial growers have noted that you get the heaviest yield by growing two different varieties in close proximity Full Season Blueberry Collection - 3 x 4 litre plants [Patriot/Bluecrop/Goldtraube] - £32.99 : Online Garden Centre - The Plant Directory - , for Plants, Wildlife Care, Tools and other garden related items

      Yeah I have three different ones to make sure I get a good crop, as TS says.

        The beauty of 3 different kinds is also that you can extend the season. I too have 3 different ones, an early, a mid-season and a late and they flower close enough to pollinate (the early for the mid and the mid for the late) so we can enjoy blueberries most of summer. Can't remember what varieties they are though, I didn't keep notes until about 3 years ago.
        Why didn't Noah just swat those 2 greenflies?

        Why are they called apartments when they are all stuck together?
