About this variety
Machine-translated, may contain errors.
Spartan is considered one of the best tasting of the early varieties and carries very large, light blue berries. It grows upright and vigorously, but makes higher demands on a well drained, acidic soil and tolerates waterlogging poorly. In a suitable spot it rewards you with a top quality early crop. A pollinating variety increases the yield.
Markedly aromatic with a lively interplay of sweetness and acidity, a blueberry flavour with depth. The firm, large berries are a treat fresh from the bush.
