Description

Tasty Green, 100% organically grown fruit. This means that only plant and animal materials have been used during cultivation. The pot and label are made of recycled plastic and are therefore a clean solution for the environment.
‘Vaccinium corymbosum Reka’ is also known as blueberry. It is a well-known variety that produces many, large and sweet fruits. It grows well on any type of soil. The shrub has thin branches and small fresh green leaves. The fruits are firm, light blue with a good taste. They can be picked from mid-July to mid-August. Fresh blueberries can be kept for a week and you can also freeze them. The blueberry blooms in clusters and the flower is white-cream to pink in colour. Flowering takes place in the first half of May. This plant is completely self-pollinating and requires almost no care. The leaves have a beautiful orange-red autumn colouring and then fall off. Blueberries have medicinal properties. The berry contains anthocyanin, a substance that gives the berry its blue colour. This substance has a good effect on the heart and blood vessels. The colouring can, among other things, ensure that fat accumulation in the blood vessels is reduced, thus improving the blood circulation. In addition, blueberries contain antioxidants.
