'Patriot' is an excellent blueberry to plant in conjuction with 'Jersey for a slightly longer harvest.
Compared to 'Jersey' the 'Patriot' blueberry sets fruit and ripens a little earlier, the fruits are a little larger and more tart.
The 'Patriot' blueberry bush tends to be shorter and wider with more red and variable leaf colors in the autumn.

Patriot is better adapted to grow in clay soils than most blueberries, as it's resistant to phytopthera root rot. Also gets really large berries here in western ny. Mine get to be as large as grapes.
