‘Draper’ blueberry produces large, sweet berries with a thicker skin for a crisp texture and better resistance to splitting. Mid-sized, compact bushes fit into small gardens and yield easy-to-pick fruit clusters. Showy yellow fall foliage.

It has a dense growth habit and ripens early-medium season, with high yields from young plants. Resists heat damage more than most blueberries. Requires 800-1000 chill hours.
