Let’s look at our blueberry range !
Mid-Chill
The Mid-Chill Highbush Blueberry is an interspecific hybrid with an intermediate chilling requirement*.
Its cold hardiness is usually less than the traditional northern highbush, but other desirable traits such as superior firmness or higher yield potential are usually present.
Low Chill
The Low to Zero Chill Blueberry, also known as Southern Highbush, is an interspecific hybrid originally developed by the University of Florida. The main idea was to create a blueberry highbush for growing blueberries at lower latitudes, extending the window of opportunity and availability of fresh blueberries. Over time, breeders found that genes responsible for more firmness and shelf life, or Brix, were associated with the desired low chilling characteristics. Some varieties have no chilling requirement at all* and can be grown in tropical to subtropical regions. Other varieties have some chilling requirements and grow well in a Mediterranean climate. Southern Highbush blueberry bushes are usually pruned back very severely after harvest, so that the yield is carried entirely by annual canes.
*It is expressed in Hours and determinates the amount of cold temperatures necessary for fulfilling the dormancy requirement of one variety. The “vegetative zero” is commonly accepted to be somewhere between 7 and 8°C. The number and consistency of hours below this temperature will determinate the chilling available in one region.)
Our Products
Plant sizes
We sell our plants according to root volume because this is the most relevant criterion for assessing the quality of plants. In contrast, a plant’s age is of little relevance. Plants of equal quality can vary greatly in age depending on the place of production, the method of propagation, and on many other reasons.
