Product description

A fast-growing, licensed variety of blueberry with delicious fruits, perfect for both raw consumption and for preserves. An erect bushy habit, it grows to approx. 1.5 m in height and 1 m in width. Large fruits (diameter 1.5-1.9 cm), sweet, blue-violet, easy to pick. Compared to the fruits of the popular variety 'Bluecrop', the fruits of the 'Draper' variety are firmer, with better taste and a longer shelf life. They ripen in the last decade of July - a few days after the 'Duke' variety, before the 'Bluecrop' variety.

Bilberry 'Draper' is a self-pollinating variety, so it will bear fruit without additional pollinators. However, it is worth planting other varieties nearby, because cross-pollination will increase the quantity and quality of fruit (according to research, 30-50% better fruiting when pollinated with pollen from a different variety). Most of the popular varieties grown in Poland, blooming in the second half of May, will be suitable for this, but the best pollinators for this variety are 'Duke' and 'Liberty'.

Blueberries are easy to grow shrubs. They are characterized by very good frost resistance. In order for them to grow well and bear fruit abundantly, they must be planted in sunny positions and in light, humus soils with a pH in the range of 3.5-4.5. It is recommended to buy peat dedicated to blueberries with an acidic reaction or to properly acidify the substrate with preparations containing sulfur compounds. Pruning should only be done every few years to rejuvenate the plant by removing old shoots.

The abbreviation PBR (Plant Breeders' Rights) next to the name of the variety means that it is a licensed variety, protected by Community exclusive law in all EU countries.
