About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Brigitta Blue extends your blueberry season well into late summer. It grows vigorously and upright and bears large, firm berries with pronounced aroma. Among late-season varieties it is one of the best in taste and yields abundantly. It is self-fertile but benefits from another late-season variety such as ‚Elliott’ as a companion.
Aromatic sweet-tart and very fruity in taste. The firm flesh makes the berries pleasantly shelf-stable and ideal for freezing.
