Duke Blueberry Plant (3-Year-Old Bare Root) | Early-Season, High-Yield Variety | Zones 4–7 | Hand Picked Nursery

The Duke Blueberry Plant is a highly productive early-season variety, prized for its large, firm berries and balanced sweet-tart flavor. Known as one of the first blueberries to ripen each year, Duke delivers abundant clusters of light-blue fruit perfect for fresh eating, baking, or freezing.

Our 3-year-old bare root Duke plants are mature and well-established, offering quicker fruiting and stronger growth than younger plants. Each has been carefully nurtured to build a vigorous root system for reliable establishment and long-term success.

In early spring, Duke produces showy white blossoms that attract pollinators and give way to heavy yields of firm, evenly ripening berries. By fall, its foliage transforms into warm orange and yellow tones, adding ornamental charm to your landscape.

Thriving in acidic, well-draining soil and full sunlight, Duke is ideal for gardeners in USDA Zones 4–7, especially those seeking an early harvest and dependable performance. This variety performs beautifully in both home gardens and small-scale farms, offering consistent yields and exceptional fruit quality year after year.
