Common Blueberry vs Albion Strawberry
Vaccinium myrtilloides
Fragaria ananassa Albion
NOT AVAILABLE THIS SEASON
Common Blueberry is an August maturing berry that is wonderfully flavorful and contain more antioxidants by volume than the highbush varieties.
They'll give your baked goods a wonderful pop of flavor.
It isn't as large, pretty, or high yielding as the other varieties we carry. But Common Blueberry is one of the only blueberries that will survive in plant hardiness zones 1A to 2B.
Note: Blueberries require very specific soil conditions. They need well-drained soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.0.
Albion Strawberry is an Day Neutral (Long Day, Everbearing) hybrid that produces berries all summer and into fall. It is heat tolerant and disease resistant, and grows well in warmer climates. Its conical fruit, bright red color, and reliable firmness, make the fruit excellent for fresh eating, or in pies or jellies.
