Description

The ‘Nelson’ blueberry is a vigorous and productive corymb-bearing blueberry plant, selected for its large, high-quality berries. It was developed from a cross between ‘Bluecrop’ and ‘G-107’ and was selected to provide a high-quality harvest following ‘Bluecrop,’ another corymb-type blueberry cultivar that is particularly compatible with ‘Nelson’ for pollination. ‘Nelson’ is particularly valuable for extending the harvest season following early-season cultivars such as ‘Patriot’. The plant has an upright and vigorous growth habit, but still benefits from being planted in a south-facing location sheltered from the wind to maximize its yield.
