The American blueberry 'Goldtraube' prefers acidic, moist and well-drained soils, and grows best in full sun or partially shaded areas. It is resistant to low temperatures and has a very good tolerance to diseases and pests. To maintain the productivity and health of the plant, it is important to remove the old shoots and adjust the acidity of the soil every spring. Although the variety is self-fertile, productivity will be improved when you grow more cultivars, due to superior pollination.

Resistance: resistant to -30 degrees Celsius and drought. Immune to most diseases and pests. It does not require spraying and is generally considered 'Pest Free'.

Pot size: 14-15 cm or 2 liters.

Height with pots included: approx. 40-60 cm (varies depending on the season).

Plants for the garden or terrace are grown in unprotected spaces or with minimal protection (shading nets or anti-hail nets). For this reason, naturally, they cannot have perfect foliage - the leaves can show traces, defects or other damages.

In the cold season, the plants enter the period of vegetative rest.
