A high-yielding variety that forms a fairly large bush, with a mature plant reaching a height of up to 180 cm. The crown is sprawling, not dense, with elongated green leaves that turn red in autumn. Flowering occurs in the second half of May, with small white flowers grouped in clusters. The berries ripen at the end of July. It is worth buying early-ripening Patriot blueberry seedlings both to decorate your garden and to enjoy delicious and healthy fruits. The fruit size is about 15–19 mm, with a bluish skin covered in a grayish bloom, and green, firm, juicy, aromatic flesh that is sweet with a slight acidity and a pleasant, complex aftertaste. The berries are excellent when fresh and suitable for making all kinds of homemade preserves. The plant is frost-resistant and has strong immunity. A wind-protected, sunny location with nutrient-rich, loose, moist, and acidic soil is best for planting. This variety requires regular watering and mulching with sawdust or pine needles.
