Description
Vaccinium Corymbosum Patriot’ is also known as blueberry or American blueberry. It is a vigorous growing shrub that requires little maintenance. It produces large, dark blue berries with a fresh sweet taste. The plant prefers a sunny spot and needs an acid soil to grow. Otherwise, the plant will not produce much fruit and may even die. The blueberry blooms in May with white-pink flowers which then turn into berries. The start of the picking season is in July. In the autumn, the leaves change to a beautiful red colour, after which it loses its leaves. The blue berries contain anthocyanin, a substance that gives the berry its blue colour. This substance has a good effect on the heart and blood vessels. The colouring agent can, among other things, ensure that fat accumulation in the blood vessels is reduced, which improves the blood circulation. In addition, blueberries contain antioxidants. These play an important role in the ageing process. Antioxidants have an anti-inflammatory effect, lower cholesterol and protect against various diseases, such as cancer. In short, a super healthy berry that everyone wants in their garden!
