A heavy-fruiting blueberry with sweet, deep-blue berries, spring white blooms, and fall foliage that turns warm orange-red
FEATURES:
- Upright, vigorous habit that fills in nicely and looks polished in edible gardens and mixed beds
- Mid-season producer with sweet, deep blue berries that ripen in summer for fresh eating and baking
- Dependable, heavy fruit set that makes harvests feel generous, even with just a few plants
- White, bell-shaped blooms in spring that bring pollinators in and help set a strong crop
- Lush green summer foliage that reads ornamental, not “just a fruit plant”
- Fall color shifts into orange to red tones for a bright end-of-season display
- Hand Selected; Fresh from the Grower
- Ships on our trucks because of the size of the tree – does not fit in a box
Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip:
Plant Calypso in a small drift instead of a straight line, then keep a clean mulch band underneath and edge the front with low evergreens or soft perennials so the blueberry shrubs read lush and intentional all season; if you add a second variety for cross-pollination, tuck it close enough that pollinators can easily bounce between plants, and your harvest will quietly level up like it’s been practicing.

Why plant Calypso Highbush Blueberry?
Calypso is the blueberry that shows up ready to work, then somehow still looks good doing it. It’s valued for strong production and a reliable summer harvest of sweet, deep blue berries, the kind you start picking “just a few” and suddenly you’re inside googling muffin recipes you swear you don’t need. Spring brings delicate white bell flowers that are subtle but charming, and the shrub itself stays attractive with rich green foliage through the growing season. When fall arrives, it shifts into warmer orange-red tones, so it keeps contributing to the landscape long after berry season is over. It’s a great choice when you want an edible that performs like an edible, but still earns a front-and-center spot in the garden.
How to use Calypso Highbush Blueberry in the landscape?
Plant Calypso in groups to create a productive berry patch or edible hedge, or weave it into foundation beds where you want something functional that still feels designed. It’s especially effective along sunny walkways or near patios, because the flowers, fruit, and fall color are all part of the show and you’ll actually get to enjoy them. For the biggest harvest, plant another blueberry variety nearby with a similar bloom window, even though many blueberries can set fruit on their own, having a partner often boosts yield and improves fruit set. Give it full sun for best berry production, keep soil consistently moist during flowering and fruiting, and mulch to protect shallow roots and help hold moisture.
