Blueberry “Burst” is a variety that produces good yields of medium sized, dark blue fruit. The firm berries are an interesting pink colour before aging and maturing to blue during late summer and autumn. New foliage is blue-green and matures to mid-green. This shrub typically grows to 2 m tall and 1.5 m wide, but can be trimmed as necessary. Best results with this variety are achieved when it is grown on a well-drained, sheltered site in full sun. It is tolerant of cool climates, though frosts in late spring can reduce yields. For this reason, it is more commonly grown in warmer climates. “Burst” is commonly grown for its delicious fruit and often included into a mixed planting or maintained in a container. Planting several varieties is recommended to ensure a continuous supply of fruit over a long period.
