Patriot is a hardy, high-yielding blueberry bush. It is very resistant to severe winter cold (down to -29°C) and blooms early. Patriot produces large, light blue fruits. They ripen in stages and are of good flavor quality. Good insect pollination is necessary. Of the early varieties, Patriot is particularly recommended for the family garden because of its hardiness and spectacular, bright orange foliage in the fall. It is worth noting that this is one of the few varieties that is resistant to Phytophthora.
