Liberty are firm, light-blue, medium to large-sized blueberries with a mildly tart flavour.

They have a small scar after picking.

The bush is upright, though it can spread somewhat. It is not only cold hardy, but even requires at least 800 cold hours during the winter.

The bush needs 2 to 3 pickings to harvest the berries. Liberty Blueberries grow in loose clusters that detach easily, so machine harvesting is possible.

Nutrition

Very high in antioxidants.

Storage Hints

Liberty Blueberries have good storage life after harvest.

History Notes

Language Notes

‘Nothing rekindles my spirits, gives comfort to my heart and mind, more than a visit to Mississippi… and to be regaled as I often have been, with a platter of fried chicken, field peas, collard greens, fresh corn on the cob, sliced tomatoes with French dressing… and to top it all off with a wedge of freshly baked pecan pie.’ — Craig Claiborne (American food writer. 4 September 1920 – 22 January 2000)
