Blueberry production
AtlasBlue, an exceptional blueberry variety, derives its name from its vigorous, upright growth habit, remarkable yields, and top-quality fruit. This cultivar has been carefully selected for its outstanding performance in evergreening production systems. It ripens alongside 'Biloxi' and 'Ventura', but distinguishes itself with a more concentrated ripening period. The berries of AtlasBlue are medium to large in size, displaying uniformity and a pleasing medium-dark blue color. While floricane fruit may have medium and dry scars, primocane fruit can exhibit slightly larger scars. If allowed to fully ripen, the fruit develops an enticingly aromatic flavor. Notably, the storage life and firmness of AtlasBlue have demonstrated impressive qualities.
