Pollination Info
Pollination Info for Patriot Blueberry
The Patriot Blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Patriot') is a self-pollinating blueberry variety, which means that it does not require another blueberry plant to produce fruit. However, planting multiple blueberry bushes near each other can increase fruit production through cross-pollination.
Bees are the primary pollinators of blueberry plants, including the Patriot variety. To attract bees to your garden, avoid using pesticides and provide a variety of flowering plants to attract pollinators.
Blueberry plants produce small bell-shaped flowers in the spring, which are visited by bees for pollination. Once pollinated, the flowers will develop into small green berries that will ripen over the summer months.
By providing a suitable habitat for bees and planting multiple blueberry bushes, you can ensure a bountiful harvest of delicious Patriot blueberries.
