BlueberrIES

Blueberries vary in size and sweetness depending on variety, growing conditions, and how long the berries stay on the bush. **For more information, check out Cornell University's Blueberry Variety Review.

We raise the following varieties of blueberries. They are listed in order of ripening:

Duke

Considered the best early season cultivar available. It has late bloom that avoids many frosts and still produces an early crop. The fruit size and quality is very good but the flavor can be bland if picked late.

Patriot

Winter hardy but frost sensitive due to early bloom. The fruit is large and firm with a small blossom scar. Full ripeness is needed for good flavor and sweetness.

Huron

A newer cultivar with large berry size and excellent flavor. The fruit is firm and has long storage life. Full ripeness is needed when picked, as the sugars develop slowly and the berries can be very tart if picked too soon. 

Toro

A productive cultivar with large fruit that ripen uniformly. The clusters tend to be tight which makes picking harder. Fruit flavor is rarely tart, and berries are firm, excellent for desserts. 

Blueray

A widely planted mid-season cultivar. Fruit size is very good with good flavor and high yield potential.

Bluecrop

The most widely planted mid-season cultivar in the world. It produces high yields of medium sized, firm fruit with good flavor. It is hardy in all but the coldest sites and can be machine harvested.

Nelson

Productive cultivar with firm, attractive, good flavored berries that can be machine harvested. The fruit can hang on the bush for extended periods.

Legacy

Very productive cultivar that produces firm, sweet, aromatic fruit for an extended period in late mid-season. Fruit is large, has excellent flavor and stores exceptionally well.

Liberty

Produces fruit approximately 5 days before Elliot with better flavor. The plants are vigorous and upright with good hardiness. The fruit has very good storage capacity.
