Spartan Blueberry Plant (2-Year-Old Bare Root) | Early-Season, Large Fruit, Northern Highbush Variety | Zones 4–7 | Hand Picked Nursery
The Spartan Blueberry is one of the premier early-season Northern Highbush varieties, known for producing exceptionally large, flavorful berries and strong, upright growth. Spartan berries ripen early, offering a sweet, balanced taste perfect for fresh eating, baking, and freezing.
Our 2-year-old bare root Spartan plants are well-established and ready to take off in your garden. Each plant has been nurtured to develop a healthy, vigorous root system capable of quick establishment and reliable growth during its first season.
Spartan grows as a tall, upright bush — a structure that naturally improves airflow and sunlight exposure. This helps berries ripen evenly and supports heavy harvests. In spring, the plant is covered in delicate white blossoms that attract pollinators. By fall, the foliage transitions into warm golden hues, adding ornamental beauty to your landscape.
Thriving in acidic, well-draining soil and full sunlight, Spartan performs exceptionally well in USDA Zones 4–7. While blueberries are self-fertile, planting two or more Northern Highbush varieties together encourages better pollination and larger yields.
At Hand Picked Nursery, every bare root plant meets strict standards for health and vigor. Choosing a 2-year-old Spartan Blueberry gives you a reliable head start toward years of abundant, high-quality fruit.
