Characteristics

Heirloom variety

A self-pollinating high chill blueberry with large tangy, mid-blue fruit, flushed red around the stem. A highbush variety with heavy yields that’s popular with home gardeners, but not suited to commercial production due to the juicy fruit. Fruit has a distinct, tangy flavour that's great for cooking and eating fresh.
