Vaccinium corymbosum 'Goldtraube' Blueberry Fruit Bush - 3Ltr Pot

Blueberry 'Goldtraube' (also known as Vaccinium corymbosum 'Blauweiss-Goldtraube') is a vigorous, upright deciduous shrub known for its reliable fruiting, ornamental appeal, and value to pollinators. With attractive spring flowers and rich autumn colour, this German variety is ideal for gardeners seeking sweet, juicy blueberries and all-season interest.

Key Features

  • Produces plentiful mid to late summer crops of sweet, juicy blue berries
  • Pink-white flowers in spring attract bees and other pollinators
  • Ornamental autumn foliage turns vibrant orange-red
  • Upright, vigorous habit — ideal for borders or large containers
  • RHS Plants for Pollinators: supports garden biodiversity
  • Requires acidic, moist but well-drained soil or ericaceous compost

Product Description
‘Goldtraube’ is a classic and highly productive highbush blueberry variety from Germany. It grows with an upright, bushy habit, eventually reaching up to 1.5 metres in height and spread. In spring, it bears delicate pink-tinged white flowers, which are highly attractive to bees and other pollinators. These are followed by heavy crops of firm, flavourful blueberries in mid to late summer, perfect for snacking, baking, or freezing.

Aside from its fruiting ability, ‘Goldtraube’ also offers visual appeal throughout the year. Its dark green foliage turns a striking orange-red in autumn, adding seasonal colour to garden beds or patio containers. This hardy shrub thrives in sun or partial shade and requires acidic, humus-rich soil to thrive.

Whether grown for fruit, flowers, or foliage, ‘Goldtraube’ is a fantastic choice for any kitchen or wildlife-friendly garden.
