About this variety

Machine-translated, may contain errors.

‚Duke’ opens the blueberry season for you: it ripens early and delivers a large, uniform harvest in a short time. The late-blooming flowers reliably protect against late frosts, while the berries ripen early. It is self-fertile, but benefits from a pollinator variety with fuller berries. The growth is vigorous and upright, well suited for rows.

Mildly sweet, fresh taste without strong acidity. The firm, light blue berries transport and store surprisingly well for an early variety.
