Have not seen this bloom and it has been planted just as long as Duke.

This native American is a very vigorous grower yields medium to large blueberries with high sugar content heavily for weeks. Plant with at least two other blueberry varieties to ensure adequate cross-pollination. The 5-6' tall bushes become a blaze of crimson in the fall.
