The Highbush Blueberry, or Vaccinium Corymbosum 'Northland,' is an incredibly hardy shrub that grows to a compact, dense, round shape. Its ovate, medium-green leaves change to beautiful hues of gold, orange, red, and purple in the fall. Bell-shaped, white blooms appear in late spring and are followed by striking clusters of medium-sized, delicious, blueberries that ripen in early summer. In winter, its scarlet stems can be visually appealing. A half-high blueberry cultivar called "Northland" is well-known for its exceptional winter hardiness.
