About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

‚Bluecrop’ is the most widely cultivated bilberry worldwide and a reliable choice for your garden. It grows robustly and upright, is very frost‑hardy, and reliably bears large bright blue berries. It is self‑fertile, but having a second variety nearby noticeably increases yield and berry size. Pay attention to acidic, humus‑rich, evenly moist soil.

Firm flesh with a balanced sweet‑tart aroma. The berries stay attractive on the bush for a long time and are well suited for fresh consumption and baking.
