We can theefoe offe you avice base on you geogaphical location an goals. The bluebey maket has evolve an pefeences fo cetain vaieties have emege. At the same time, thee is an eve-gowing eman fo bluebeies in the Unite States an thoughout the wol. As always, we continue to have excellent elations with the majo evelopes of new cultivas in oe to bing you the latest, most fashionable vaieties. Like ou passion fo bluebeies, we ae elighte to shae this knowlege with you in ou catalogue which we hope will have eveything you nee. Yous sinceely, Mathieu BillotteP

4 About the Vaccinium genus The main chaacteistics of the iffeent Vaccinium coymbosum vaieties featue in the catalogue a h y/ it The genus Vaccinium belongs to the Eicaceae (o heathe) family an inclues a lage numbe of iffeent species. Likene to the native Euopean species of bluebey (o bilbey), Vaccinium mytillus, all of the vaious kins of blue-fuit-beaing vaccinium (V. coymbosum, V. ashei, V. aowii, V. angustifolium, etc.) ae goupe togethe une the geneic name Bluebey. Bluebeies ae wiely gown in Noth Ameica. V Rabbit-eye: Vaccinium ashei (hexaploi), evelope pincipally to exten the gowing season an allow late havesting. Chilling equiements ae geneally low. Lowbush bluebey: Vaccinium angustifolium, evelope essentially fo mechanical havesting an pocessing. It has high chilling nees. ealy mi-ealy mi-season Southen Highbush: Vaccinium coymbosum hybi, has a popotion of genetic mateial eive fom othe hot climate species (V. aowi, V. ashei). Requies chilling of about hous. mi-late Nothen Highbush The wil Vaccinium coymbosum is natually well aapte to oceanic an tempeate continental climates. Howeve, in esponse to maket nees an in oe to exten the pouction season, othe vaccinium have been intouce in cultiva selection pogammes to pemit gowth in hot climates an to pouce ealie vaieties. The cultivate bluebey can be istinguishe into fou majo goups: Nothen Highbush: Vaccinium coymbosum (tetaploi), equies extensive chilling of appoximately 1000 hous. o ig V Patiot The Vaccinium coymbosum species (Lit: fuits in cluste) o Highbush bluebey has been cultivate in the US fo aoun a centuy. This is because the oiginal wil V. coymbosum pouce the best compomise between vigou, yiel an fuit quality. y et i a v ti uc P o s fe ze t i u F si f el li Sh Blue one Duke Reka Sunset Blue 10 Collins BlueCop 10 Atlantic / Jesey Blue peal 10 Chanle 10 Legacy This notation is to unestan only as an inication e e t ui f w fo en m co es m fa Re e en m co Re fo o g

It is vey esistant to sevee winte col (up to -29 C) an blooms ealy. Patiot beas lage, light blue fuit. These ipen in stages an the quality of flavou is goo. Goo insect pollination is equie. Of the ealy vaieties, Patiot is paticulaly ecommene fo the family gaen ue to its hainess an its spectacula, vibant oange foliage in autumn. It is woth noting that this is one of the few vaieties that is esistant to phytophthoa. Blue One : At last an ealy vaiety that ivals Duke! Blue One is a vigoous shub, with goo-size fuit of excellent fimness. It pouces slightly less than the Duke vaiety, howeve its fuit ae much moe aomatic. It is the vaiety that we have been waiting fo, fo a vey long time! Duke : This ealy vaiety, ientifie in 1985, has uneniable qualities. The Duke bluebey bush is vigoous an the blooming season stats elatively late. Fuit ae light blue, with a goo size, an a long shelf life. It is a stong pouce an havest is concentate uing 2-3 weeks. The eect shape of the bush an the fimness of the beies make the Duke vaiety one of the most suitable fo mechanical havesting.

6 Reka : This vaiety of New Zealan oigin has many avantages. It is vey vigoous an can thus aapt in less favouable soil conitions. Its bluebeies ae known fo having a pleasant wooy aoma. Its upight, natually banching shape makes it a beautiful plant. Sunset Blue : The Sunsetblue cultiva was evelope by PFR (Plant an Foo Reseach), in New Zealan. Fuit ae meium to lage, with a thick bloom an goo flavou. The Sunsetblue bush is vey vigoous an upight with an open gowth. Its fuit ipens ealy, simila to the Duke vaiety. Tests pefome by beees have shown it to be vey pouctive. Mi-ealy vaieties Collins : Collins is a vigoous an pouctive plant with an upight an slightly spea out bush. It is a vaiety that is capable of aapting to moe challenging soils. Fuit ae of a goo size with a flattene shape, an quite ak in colou. They ae vey aomatic an have a slightly tat taste that consumes ten to like. Its stems tun e in winte, making it a vey attactive plant. Mi-season vaieties Atlantic/jesey : Mi-late vaieties This upight an slightly spea-out vaiety is extemely hay an vigoous, gowing up to 2.5 metes tall. Develope especially fo the family gaen, it can aapt suitably in ifficult gowing conitions. Its bluebeies ae small, black an vey sweet. Ou Atlantic an Jesey plants ae twin vaieties. The vaieties wee pobably mixe in the past by one of ou pees an ae nowaays inissociable. Chanle : Chanle is a vigoous, upight bush, an is the vaiety poucing THE lagest fuit. Its beies ae both flavousome an vey attactive, emaining a goo size thoughout the havest. The ipening peio is vey staggee an seveal stages of havesting ae equie to collect the entie cop. These chaacteistics make the Chanle vaiety an ieal choice fo gowing «pick-you-own» fuit. Bluecop : Bluecop is still one of the most commonly plante vaieties in the wol. It is a elatively vigoous an vey upight bush. Fuit ae meium to lage in size with a slightly foste appeaance. Ripening is staggee ove 5-6 weeks. In Anges (Fance), it cops about 2 weeks afte the Bluetta vaiety. Bluecop is consiee to be an excellent mi-season vaiety an a go-to fo high-yiel pouction.

7 Legacy : The Legacy is an upight, vigoous an spea-out bush. It is a «wam blooe» vaiety, an only patially loses its leaves in ou climate (Anges, Fance). It has many qualities, incluing a high yiel of fuit which ipens within a shot peio of time. The beies ae meium size, light blue an have a goo quality flavou. The fuit stay vey fim, even in peios of hot weathe. Thei shelf life is one of the best. Elisabeth : Elisabeth is a vigoous, upight, open bush. It pouces goosize, light blue fuit which is vey aomatic. The Elisabeth vaiety is a late bloome that we ecommen fo col egions. Daow : Blue Peal : Bluepeal is a new vaiety evelope fo its onamental chaacteistics. It is vey compact, with semi-pesistent, blue-tinte foliage. It blooms abunantly with flowes in the fom of lovely small pink bells. It also pouces consistently an its fuit has top-class flavou. It is the fist vaiety with both an equally high quality of fuit an onamental attactiveness. Because of its compact size, it makes an excellent potte plant fo patios. Late vaieties A vigoous, meium-size open bush an vey high-yieling vaiety. Daow cops one month afte the Bluetta vaiety an havest is staggee ove 6-8 weeks. The fuit flavou is exceptional, although the size of the beies vaies uing the ipening season; they ae vey lage at the beginning of the havest, but iminish in size as picking avances. Ozakblue : Ozakblue is a «hybi» cultiva combining chaacteistics of both the Southen an Nothen Highbush. It was evelope by the Univesity of Akansas. It is a vesatile vaiety that can be plante in vey iffeent latitues. The bush is vigoous an hay, poucing lage, light blue fuit with top-class flavou. The fimness an shelf life ae emakable fo fuit of this size. When plante in the ight place, with goo coss pollination, Ozakblue is a vey pouctive vaiety. Southen Highbush Vaccinium coymbosum hybi Colibi : Colibi is an ealy-season Southen Highbush with vey low chilling nees of about 200 hous. It pouces lage quantities of pollen an is self-fetile. The oveall quality of its fuit is excellent. The beies have a neat stem sca an thei Bix-to-aci atio is high. Fuit ae consiee to be of a goo size (between 2.5 an 3 gams pe bey) an conseve thei light blue bloom afte havest. The upight shape of the plant an its spea-out fuit make fo easy picking. Half of its fuit ae geneally picke befoe the Sta vaiety beas fuit. Thee stages of haveste ae geneally equie. Alix Blue : The Alixblue cultiva was evelope in 2012 by Alen Dape fo the US Depatment of Agicultue (USDA). It has etaine the qualities of each of its paents (the Bluecisp an Magnolia vaieties), combining fimness, goo-size fuit an quality of flavou. Alixblue also shows excellent vigou an 50% of the cop usually ipens a few ays befoe the Sta vaiety. Tests pefome by beees have shown it to be vey pouctive. In evey yea of assessment, it yiels highe than the Sta vaiety, an has lowe chilling equiements (estimate at about 400 hous by the beee). In initial tests in a egion with no eal col season, the fuit set was goo.

8 New Hanove : The New Hanove cultiva was evelope by Jim Ballington fo the Univesity of Noth Caolina. New Hanove is a mi-season vaiety equiing hous of chilling. It pouces emakably high yiels, but that is not its only avantage: the quality of its fuit is also excellent, both in tems of fimness, size an flavou, an shelf life is vey goo. Han havesting is ecommene fo this vaiety. Gupton : Ozakblue : Gupton is a new cultiva fom the US Depatment of Agicultue (USDA). The bush has an upight shape an is vey pouctive. Its chill nees ae pobably lowe than the 400 hous estimate by the beee. In initial tests in a egion with no eal col season, the fuit set was goo. «Half the cop» is eay to havest a week afte the Sta vaiety ipens. Gupton beas lage, light blue fuit which is sweet an vey fim. Tests pefome by beees have shown it to be vey pouctive. In evey yea of assessment, it yiels highe than the Sta vaiety. Rabbiteyes Vaccinium asheï Sky Blue : Columbus : Sky Blue is a new abbit-eye cultiva evelope by Plant & Foo Reseach (New Zealan). It is a semi-upight plant, of meium to stong vigou. Fuits ae fim an aomatic with a goo balance of suga an aciity. Fuit size is lage, aveaging 2.3 g pe bey. The beies have a nice bloom an shelf life is excellent. Yiels have been ate high in the Waikato an Hawke s Bay egions in New Zealan (test plots). Sky Blue ipens togethe with the latest ipening V. coymbosum vaiety available, but shows oveall supeio chaacteistics. Sky Blue equies a coss pollinato an is not suitable in egions with hash wintes. A Noth Caolina State cultiva. Ripens mi-season (50% of cop), about 12 ays ahea of the late cultiva Poweblue. In amp envionments, fuits ae esistant to beaking. Fuit ae lage an unifom in size. Columbus equies a coss pollinato an is not suitable in egions with hash wintes. Ozakblue is a «hybi» cultiva combining chaacteistics of both the Southen an Nothen Highbush. It was evelope by the Univesity of Akansas. It is a vesatile vaiety that can be plante in vey iffeent latitues. The bush is vigoous, an hay, poucing lage, light blue fuit with top-class flavou. The fimness an shelf life ae emakable fo fuit of this size. When plante in the ight place, with goo coss pollination, Ozakblue is a vey pouctive vaiety.

Fuit ae meium size, bight pink, an have goo fimness an flavou. The plant is compact an upight. Foliage is bight geen an semipesistent. The Pink Lemonae vaiety is hay an vigoous an thus pomises to aapt well to many types of soils an climates. Its fetility is not pecisely known, but like a numbe of othe Rabbit-eye vaieties, it is possible that the Pink Lemonae is not fully self-fetile. It is ecommene to plant it alongsie anothe Vaccinium ashei. Canbeies Vaccinium maccocapon Pilgim : A vey vigoous, ceeping plant. Its lage e fuits, known as canbeies, ae especially popula in Noth Ameica. With egula puning, it is possible to maintain a moe o less upight bush. This is a significant avantage compae with othe vaieties, as plants can be kept moe easily sepaate fom one anothe. Centa Blue : Centa Blue is a new abbit-eye cultiva evelope by Plant & Foo Reseach (New Zealan) fom the Centuion an Rahi vaieties. It is a semi-upight plant, of meium vigou compae with its paents Rahi an Centuion which ae vey vigoous vaieties. The floweing time is geneally late. Centa Blue also cops vey late, up to a month late than the Poweblue vaiety, epening on the geogaphical location. Fuit ae geneally well pesente fo ease of picking. Beies ae lage in size an vey oun. Some fuit can be slightly oblong in shape (but this is ifficult to visibly spot without measuement). Fuit ae light blue with goo flavou an vey little gittiness.
