💡 Care Tip: Plant your Duke Blueberry in full sun and acidic soil for strong growth and berry production. Blueberries generally perform best at a soil pH around 4.5–5.5, so an acidic amendment or blueberry-specific potting mix may be helpful when existing soil is too alkaline. Keep the root zone consistently moist, especially during establishment and fruit development. Duke has a substantial winter chilling requirement of approximately 800 hours, making it particularly well suited to regions with cold winters.
