Growing and Maintenance Tips:


 'Elliot' is a vigorous plant needing hard pruning and thinning.

Although 'Elliot' is self-pollinating, having other varieties nearby will increase yield. 'Elliot' pollinates especially well with 'Patriot' and 'Hardyblue'. 

Blueberry plants grow best in a well-drained, acidic, moist, soil, in full sun or partial shade. Fruit size and production is improved when two or more cultivars are planted together. After fruiting, prune out any branches more than 4 years old, to ensure subsequent fruit production.

Additional Notes about Elliot Blueberry:


'Elliott' has one of the highest levels of antioxidants of all blueberry varieties.
