Bluestar 701M

The tall variety Bluestar blueberry is a spreading bush reaching 1.25 to 1.75 meters in height, sometimes up to 2 meters with proper care. This variety blooms late, after spring frosts, reducing the risk of cold damage to flowers. The early-ripening variety allows harvesting as early as early July, making it attractive for gardeners seeking early berries.

The berries of Bluestar blueberry are large, 15-17 mm in diameter and weighing about 1.8 grams, light blue or dark blue in color with a characteristic bluish bloom. They have a sweet flavor with a slight tartness and a unique aroma. The berries are loosely clustered, facilitating harvesting. The stem attachment is small and dry, contributing to good transportability and fruit preservation during transit.

The variety is characterized by high yield — up to 10 kg per bush when all agronomic practices are followed. Bluestar blueberry is resistant to frost down to -30°C, allowing cultivation in cold-climate regions. The berries are rich in vitamins C, B1, B2, PP, organic acids, sugar, and iron, which makes them widely used not only in food but also for therapeutic purposes to improve heart and stomach function. These berries are excellent for fresh consumption, as well as for making jams, jellies, and baked goods.
