Plant details
Meet this plant.
Duke is a northern highbush blueberry with firm blue fruit and an early ripening season. It tends to flower later than many other early varieties, although flowers still need protection from damaging spring frost.
Choose your plant
Compare the available height or gallon-size options above. A Single option supplies one Duke plant; a 2-Pack supplies two plants of the same cultivar. Listed feet describe the supplied size range, while gallons describe the container. Neither is a mature plant dimension. Decorative planters are not included. Plant shape and fullness vary.
Planting and care
Choose a sunny position with acidic, well-drained soil. Keep moisture consistent and use mulch to protect shallow roots. Check local winter-chill suitability when selecting a northern highbush cultivar. A different compatible highbush blueberry with overlapping bloom can improve pollination.
What to expect
Ripening dates and crop size vary with climate, plant age and growing conditions. Allow young plants to establish rather than expecting a heavy first harvest. Duke is deciduous and may arrive leafless during dormancy; fall foliage color also varies.

Questions about plant options, delivery, tracking, or an order? Inty is here to help before and after your purchase.
Will my plant look exactly like the photo?
Live plants naturally vary in height, branching, leaf count, color, and shape. Photos show the variety and typical presentation.
Can items arrive separately?
Yes. Plants can have different preparation times and packaging needs, so one order may receive more than one tracking number.
What should I do when it arrives?
Unpack promptly, inspect the plant, water only when needed, and let it acclimate before making major care changes.
