Blueberry 'Bluecrop'
Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluecrop'
Bluecrop is a high-yielding variety that produces an abundance of large, sweet, flavourful blueberries that ripen in late July/early August.
Blueberries are mostly self-fertile, but will produce larger yields if they have a different variety of blueberry growing close by that flowers at the same time.
Blueberries require fertile, moist, acidic, well-draining soil to grow and produce fruit. In areas with hot summers, they prefer morning sun and afternoon shade. If your soil is alkaline, you will need to add a soil acidifier or aluminum sulfate at least twice a year to keep the pH low enough. They also dislike heavy, poorly-drained soils and windy, exposed sites.
Seasonal Availability: Typically available May through August, depending on suppliers availability.

Water every 1-3 days for first year until established (based on outdoor temperature & plant's water consumption).
If it is planted in a pot, it should have a drainage hole to reduce the likelihood of root rot caused by water accumulating in the bottom of the pot.
Increase watering in the heat of summer and watch for wilting or browning as signs to increase watering frequency.
