Looking for a blueberry with real character? Vaccinium ‘Goldtraube 23’ is a great choice. Looking for vaccinium (blueberry) that looks great and is easy to grow? Vaccinium ‘Goldtraube 23’ is a deciduous or evergreen fruiting shrub with white spring flowers, edible blueberries and fiery autumn colour. Grown at our St Annes nursery in North West England, it is supplied well rooted and ready to plant.
Vaccinium corymbosum and its relatives give delicious blueberries in summer, white bell-shaped spring flowers and fiery autumn leaf colour, making them as ornamental as they are productive. They need acidic soil or ericaceous compost.
Vaccinium ‘Goldtraube 23’ grows best in full sun, in moist, acidic soil or ericaceous compost. It is a good choice for edible gardens, and also works well for large patio pots, ericaceous beds and fruit gardens. Grow it alongside other blueberries, cranberries and acid-loving shrubs such as azaleas.
Before planting, soak the root ball in a bucket of water. Prepare a hole about twice the width of the pot, fork over the bottom and add organic matter. Plant at the original soil level, firm the soil around the roots and give it a generous drink.
Keep the compost moist and water with rainwater, as tap water can be alkaline. Feed in spring with an ericaceous fertiliser. Water with rainwater and keep soil acidic; plant two varieties for a better crop. From the third year, prune in late winter by removing a few of the oldest stems to encourage fresh, fruiting growth. Birds love the fruit, so net bushes as berries ripen. Yellow leaves suggest the compost is not acidic enough.
Ideal for large pots of ericaceous compost, which makes acidic conditions easy to provide.
