Which blueberry plant varieties are best for export?
The best blueberry varieties for export depend on your desired harvest season and climate. For growers, Duke, Draper®, Bluecrop, and Legacy are top choices due to their firm berries, high yields, and excellent shelf life. Fairplant is propagating, growing and supplying these certified Vaccinium corymbosum varieties in both Northern and Southern Highbush, each chosen for robust performance in yield, fruit quality, and climatic resilience. With experience exporting to over 44 countries, Fairplant ensures growers worldwide receive healthy, certified plants ready for commercial production. Duke is prized for early ripening, very high yield of 4–9 kg per plant, large firm berries with a sweet flavor, and requires regular pruning for optimal balance between growth and fruit production. Legacy, as a late-season variety, produces abundant crops of large, sweet, aromatic fruit with excellent shelf life, making it ideal for extending the harvest season.
