Blueberry Bluecorp

Bluecrop is arguably the most widely grown blueberry in the world, and its reputation is entirely deserved. Developed in the United States and released in the 1950s, it has stood the test of time as the benchmark variety against which all other blueberries are measured. Decades of home growers and commercial orchardists have trusted Bluecrop for one simple reason: it never lets you down.

The berries are large, round, and a classic powder-blue colour with the definitive blueberry flavour — sweet, slightly tangy, and wonderfully aromatic. They ripen evenly across the cluster, which makes picking easy and satisfying. Bluecrop is also an exceptional keeper, holding well on the bush and staying fresh for longer after picking than many other varieties.

The bush is robust, adaptable, and highly productive, with striking red stems that add winter garden interest. Its broad adaptability means it performs well across a wide range of New Zealand climates. A must-have variety for any serious blueberry grower.
