All About Blueberry
Latin name : Vaccinium myrtillus L/Vaccinium corymbosum L
Native to North America the blueberry is sweet but slightly acidic in taste and is now considered to be a popular ‘superfruit’ due to its high content of antioxidants.
Bearing fruit in the middle of the growing season the blueberry crop is more susceptible to adverse weather conditions resulting in varying crop sizes from year to year.
