Discovered growing wild in a nearby bush by a tissue culture lab near Ascension, Lac-Saint-Jean, area in Quebec. Impressed with the quality and flavour, the lab decided to propagate them these wild blueberries. Medium to large powder-blue berries, with tasty, sweet flavour. Berries grow in nice clusters, making picking easy.
Blueberries like acidic soil, consider checking your soil type before planting, and adding peat moss or other acidifiers if needed.
Canadian Hardiness Zone: 2A
Recommended Use: fresh eating, freezing
Ripens: late July
Pollination: requires another blueberry of a different cultivar, the more different cultivars, the better the pollination
