Legacy Highbush Blueberry

‘Legacy’ is a highbush blueberry variety valued for its consistently high yields, excellent fruit quality, and adaptability across a range of climates. The medium to large berries are firm, flavorful, and notably sweet, often considered among the best-tasting blueberries available. Fruit ripens mid- to late-season and holds well both on the plant and after harvest, making it a favorite for fresh eating or baking.

This upright, semi-evergreen shrub typically grows 4 to 6 feet tall and wide. It features glossy green foliage that may turn deep red and burgundy in fall, adding ornamental value. ‘Legacy’ performs well in USDA Zones 5–8 and is known for heat tolerance, making it a strong choice in both northern and southern regions. It prefers acidic, well-drained soil and benefits from a second blueberry variety nearby for improved pollination and yield.
