Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluegold' is an upright, blueberry shrub with ovate, glossy, dark green leaves, turning attractive yellow, red, and purple in autumn. Bell-shaped, white flowers bloom in May and are followed by firm, delicious, light blue berries, ready for harvesting in late June or July. Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bluegold' grows best in organically rich, slightly acidic, loamy and sandy, medium to wet, well-drained soils in full sun or partial shade. Because of its shallow roots, it needs constant moisture and good drainage. It is self-fertile, but for the best crop, three different cultivars should be planted together. It can withstand coastal conditions and urban pollution. Mature plants may require regular pruning. Blueberry 'Bluegold' is grown for its fruit production, but also for ornamental purposes. It is excellent for shrub borders, especially for woodland gardens, as well as hedges and screens. Suitable for cottage, urban and coastal gardens. Good for growing in containers.

Arundel Arboretum is a shrub and tree retail nursery with over 40 years of experience.

About Us

During this time, we have developed a large stock of trees, mature evergreen shrubs, conifers, Japanese maples, cedars and olives. What sets us apart from a generic garden center is solid unwavering focus on trees and some bigger shrubs. You will find thousands of trees, hundreds of varieties and lots of experts who are working on the nursery and more than willing to help you to choose a plant for you.

What you will not find is hot tubs, garden furniture and plastic garden gnomes. In a nutshell, trees is what we know and trees is what we do, and only trees (and some shrubs to go with the trees).
