Blueberry - "Darrow"

Vaccinium corymbosum ' Darrow'

'Darrow' is a late-season, Northern Highbush selection that produces juicy, dark blue fruit with berries the size of quarters! The large fruit is a well-balanced blend of sweet/tart and can be eaten fresh or used in baking, canning, etc.
Its fall foliage is incredibly ornament, with a showy scarlet red display.

'Darrow' is a highly productive variety that is self-pollinating, but will yield more fruit if planted with another Northern Highbush variety, such as 'Chandler', 'Legacy', or 'Sweetheart'.
