Very vigorous cultivar, large size, with an upright growth habit: its maturation (7 days after Lateblue) is concentrated in a short period with high productivity. Medium-small, light blue, firm fruit with a subtle aroma, very shelf-stable. Particularly interesting as it is among the latest cultivars.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPot Size: 11 x 11 cm\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nWARNING!!! PLANTS WILL BE PRUNED FOR TRANSPORT.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBushy shrub with an upright growth habit, height between 100 and 200 cm, with semi-woody branches and deciduous foliage that takes on beautiful autumn colors, decorative flowering. Large blue-purple fruits, abundant, highly appreciated fresh or in jam. Production mainly occurs on two or more year old branches from mixed or flowering buds. The flowers, generally self-fertile, are clustered in cylindrical racemes. Pollination is facilitated by entomofauna. Deciduous leaves, ovate-elongated in shape, turn a typical red color in autumn. A perennial plant that can produce for many decades.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPLANTING: Can be grown throughout Italy but is sensitive to drought and calcareous soils. Prefers loose, organic-rich, and slightly acidic soils; if lacking, add acidified compost to the planting hole. In warm regions, it can be protected with shading cloths. Requires frequent watering. Planting distance: 0.50 to 1 m in the row and 200-250 cm between rows.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nCULTIVATION: Rustic crop, requires little care, emergency irrigation in summer, and balanced mineral fertilization with a predominance of nitrogen in spring and organic fertilization in late autumn. Can also be grown in pots with careful attention to frequent watering and fertilization with slow-release fertilizers or fertigation.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nPRUNING: At planting, slightly shorten the branches; in the following years, remove old branches in favor of new, more vigorous ones and thin the canopy to promote lighting. Prune during winter.\u003cbr\u003e\r\n\u003cbr\u003e\r\nTREATMENTS: In dry environments and for hobbyist cultivation, fungicide treatments are usually not necessary; however, two interventions are recommended, the first in autumn and the second at the start of the growing season with copper and wettable sulfur salts to prevent major adversities.","brand":"Piante da frutto Apice Piante","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42267160477939,"sku":"MI14","price":15.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/2159\/2563\/products\/mirtillo-elliot-gigante-americano-tardivo-v-11-x-11-cm-apice-piante-apice-piante-37714023940339.jpg?v=1657781647","url":"https:\/\/millstore.it\/en\/products\/elliot-giant-american-blueberry-late-v-11-x-11-cm-apice-piante","provider":"Millstore.it","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
