About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Elliott is the classic late variety and closes your blueberry season when others have long been harvested. It grows robustly and upright and bears very abundant small to medium‑sized, firm berries. Let the fruit fully ripen, then the initial acidity disappears. A second late variety like ‚Brigitta Blue’ improves yield.
Initially fresh‑sour, fully ripe pleasantly sweet. Thanks to the very firm flesh, the berries store exceptionally well and freeze excellently.
