The Thompson & Morgan Blueberry Duke is ideal for home gardeners looking for a high-yield, low-maintenance fruit bush that thrives in both garden beds and patio containers. This self-fertile variety offers the key benefit of reliable, large harvests of sweet, light-blue berries from July through August, complemented by ornamental spring flowers and vibrant autumn foliage. One caveat to keep in mind is that blueberry plants require acidic soil to flourish, meaning standard potting compost may not be sufficient without amendment.

No, the Blueberry Duke is self-fertile and will produce fruit on its own.
You can, but you must use ericaceous potting mix rather than standard compost to ensure the plant has the correct pH.
Harvesting typically occurs between July and early August when the berries have turned a deep, light-blue color.
Tap water often contains lime or minerals that can gradually increase the soil pH, making it less acidic over time.
Yes, it is a hardy variety capable of surviving British winters, though container-grown plants may benefit from protection during extreme cold.
Blueberry Duke is a compact variety, making it well-suited for pots, usually reaching a manageable height of 1 to 1.5 meters.
This is often a sign of high soil pH. Apply an ericaceous feed and ensure you are using acidic compost.
Ensure the plant is getting at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight and consistent moisture throughout the fruiting season.
Cover the bush with fine garden netting once the berries start to ripen to protect your harvest.
