American Blueberries 'Northblue'

Latin: Vaccinium corymbosum (x angustifolium) 'Northblue'
Swedish: Amerikanska blåbär 'Northblue'
English: Swamp Blueberries 'Northblue'

2/7-2011
Received the plant somewhere in March but I could not plant it outside before we got our flower beds enlarged. That was guessingly something around 31st May or 1st of June. But it could as well have been one week after. Unsure right now. By that time the plant had started loosing all flowers and no real blueberries were left on the plant. The plant itself had started looking like crap also.

Producer's description
Small plant of about 60cmn, it gives a lot of flowers in the spring and later round and light blue fruits with a diameter of about 2cm. The fruits are sweet and with aromatic. This variety is fitted for heights.

Additionally, the sticker I got from the producer says the following:
Height: 1,25cm (not 60 as above) -
Flowering time: April-May
Harvest: July and August
Pruning: Not recommended

Unclear what information is the correct one. Well, this we will know in a couple of years if no dumb rabbits or bambies come around before I guess?! Maybe something went wrong in the order. In the catalogue it says (x angustifolium and 60cm, but none of these two statements can be found on the etiquette. Probably got the wrong sort?)

Planted in the blueberry bed.
