Bluecrop - Highbush blueberry
Bluecrop - Vaccinium corymbosum
Bushes grow strongly to 160-200 cm, have a spherical habit, give abundant fruit and have a tendency to spread. The variety is fertile with bushes yielding 4-9 kg of berries. The fruit is large (65 berries/0.25 l), spherical, even in size, clustered in bunches, and covered with a rich waxy coating. Suitable for both manual and mechanical harvesting. The flesh is greenish, firm, moderately aromatic and wine-sweet. The fruit ripens around the middle of July. The advantages of the variety are its low susceptibility to drought and sufficient resistance to frost (-28°C to -34°C). One downside is a tendency for very abundant. This reduces the size of the fruit unless fully fruiting bushes are thoroughly pruned.
