Elliott Blueberry

✓ Verified

Michigan, USA

Elliott is a northern highbush blueberry, notable specifically for ripening late in the blueberry season, extending the harvest window after most other northern highbush varieties have finished. The berries are medium to large with excellent flavor, and the upright bush is a reliable producer. I was not able to find a documented breeder or specific release history for this variety beyond its general classification. If you have a source for this variety's background, it can be corrected with real information.
