Patriot Blueberry

Patriot is a northern highbush variety introduced in the 1970s from USDA breeding work — though it's worth flagging that at least one source incorrectly credits it directly to Frederick Coville, the USDA's foundational blueberry breeder, despite Coville having died in 1937, decades before Patriot's release; that specific attribution appears to be an error rather than documented fact, so it should be treated with real skepticism. What is well documented: Patriot is exceptionally cold-hardy, reliably grown in USDA Zones 3 through 7, bred specifically to withstand harsh northern winters, with large, firm, aromatic, flavorful fruit on a compact bush well suited to container growing.
