Legacy Blueberry Growing Conditions
The Legacy blueberry is a semi-evergreen variety known for its sweet, aromatic berries and attractive fall foliage. It thrives in the following conditions:
- Light: Full sun is essential for optimal fruit production. At least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight is ideal.
- Soil: Prefers well-draining, acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Amending soil with organic matter, such as peat moss or pine needles, helps maintain the right acidity.
- Water: Requires consistent moisture, especially during fruiting. Keep the soil evenly moist but not waterlogged.
- Temperature: Hardy in USDA zones 5-8, Legacy can tolerate cold winters and mild summers. Mulching in winter helps protect roots.
- Pruning: Regular pruning promotes better airflow and fruit production. Remove dead or overcrowded branches in late winter or early spring.
This variety produces heavy crops in mid-to-late summer, with the added benefit of vibrant autumn foliage, making it a perfect dual-purpose plant for both ornamental and fruit production.
