  • Blueberry cross-pollinators?

    Please can anyone tell me what other Blueberry varieties are good cross-pollinators for Blueberry – Bluecrop?

    Thanks.

    Best regards,
    Greg

    Bluecrop is a Highbush Blueberry. It's self polinating so doesn't need another plant to fruit. It is supposed to be a big cropper and produce bigger crops if it is cross pollinated, so you would need another Highbush Blueberry

    I'm not certain if different varieties have different flowering times like apples (they do have different harvest times) but this site gives a couple of possible pollinators https://www.starkbros.com/products/b...crop-blueberry

        I grow 5 different varieties of blueberries and they pretty much all flower at the same time, I reckon you'd be fine with any different variety.

          Hello TrixC. Thank you for the advice. I will have a look at what other varieties are locally available.

            I second what TrixC says, esp. as bluecrop blooms mid-season and should overlap in both directions. Here's another chart

            I know that you can get at least Patriot and Reka in the UK either online or in supermarkets.

              Hello devonuk. Thank you for the chart. It will be very helpful. I see that Jersey and Elliott are shown on the chart and I know these two are stocked at my local garden centre. Thanks again
