Nelson Blueberry is a native fruiting deciduous shrub with an upright mounding habit that produces large richly flavored edible blue berries that ripen in mid to late season.  Its elliptical green foliage turns shades of yellow-orange to burgundy in fall.   The loose pendulous clusters of white spring flowers give way to the signature berries.  Grows best with full sun and rich, moist acidic well-drained soils.  While self-fertile, cross-pollination will produce a better crop.
