Late. Darrow boast the largest berries of all blueberry cultivars with some fruit actually reaching half-dollar size! The fruit is slightly flat, light blue, with a delightful tart flavor. The bush is quite vigorous, reaching 5-6 feet at maturity. Darrow does not produce as heavily in the colder zones as it does in milder areas but the "blue ribbon" sized berries are worth the reduced yields. Zones 5-7.
