Nelson Blueberries

Nelson are firm, light-blue, large-sized blueberries. They have good flavour, and are sweet with a touch of tartness.

The upright bush is cold hardy. It delivers high yields of berries that can be left on the bush for quite a while after they are ripe, helping to make it good for pick your own.

Nelson Blueberries can also be mechanically harvested mid to late-season.

History Notes

Nelson Blueberries were developed jointly by the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service and the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station from a cross between Bluecrop blueberries and a blueberry referred to as G- 107. The cross was initially done by A.D. Draper of the United States Department of Agriculture Agricultural Research Service in Beltsville, Maryland in 1965.

Nelson Blueberries were released in 1988.

Language Notes

Nelson Blueberries were named after a J.W. Nelson of the Michigan Blueberry Growers Association.
