Serendipity's Edible FruitsUpdate: 625 days 13hrsComments: -
In heavy flower July. Pollination rate a little low, hoping native bees discover the new blueberry patch soon. ants seem to be doing most pollination so far. Only first year amazed at flowering & fruiting considering a mild winter
Year 2.
I have most varieties of blueberries that Daleys stock. This one seems to be best suited to Brisbane conditions, the smaller leaves means it handles the summer extremes better. The fruit is not as flavourful as some other varieties, but it is of good size and not too bad, may seem a little gritty but still is 10 times better than the soggy punnet blueberries from the supermarket.
It has nice compact shape, though can still reach to 1.5 metres high, and gets covered in pinkish lantern flowers. Having about an 80% pollination rate this year, which is 4 times better than year 1, could be higher if I can stop the August winds from blowing some of the flowers away, (I think the wind may be helping some pollination too.)
