Vaccinium corymbosum 'Goldtraube' is a variety of American blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum), belonging to the Ericaceae family. This cultivar was developed in Germany, is self-fertile, and is valued for its large, tasty fruits and high yield.

The 'Goldtraube' blueberry is a perennial shrub that reaches a height of 1.5-2 meters and a similar width at maturity. Its leaves are green and oval, turning attractive shades of red and orange in autumn.

In spring, 'Goldtraube' produces small, bell-shaped, white-green flowers that appear in clusters. These flowers are followed by fruits that ripen in the summer months (July-August). The fruits of Vaccinium corymbosum 'Goldtraube' are dark blue, large, and have a sweet and fragrant taste, making them ideal both for fresh consumption and for making juices, jams, and cakes.

The 'Goldtraube' blueberry can be fertilized with organic fertilizer during March - May.

The American blueberry 'Goldtraube' prefers acidic, moist, and well-drained soils and grows best in full sun or partially shaded areas. It is resistant to low temperatures and has very good tolerance to diseases and pests. To maintain the plant’s productivity and health, it is important to remove old shoots and adjust the soil acidity every spring. Although the variety is self-fertile, yield will improve when growing several cultivars due to better pollination.

Hardiness: withstands -30 degrees Celsius and drought. Immune to most diseases and pests. Does not require spraying and is generally considered 'Pest Free'.

Pot size: 14-15 cm or 2 liters.

Height including pot: approx. 40-60 cm (varies depending on the season).

Garden or terrace plants are grown in unprotected spaces or with minimal protection (shade nets or hail nets). For this reason, naturally, they may not have perfect foliage – leaves may show marks, defects, or other damage.

During the cold season, the plants enter a period of dormancy.
