University of Minnesota. They are hardy (with snowcover) to the minusconsider the half-high blueberry cultivars developed by the
30s and have excellent-tasting fruit. These cultivars differ
considerably in mature plant size, which should give one alternatives in
incorporating them in the home landscape or dealing with a relative lack
of snow.
The 6 cultivars released so far: Northsky (12-18" tall, 1-3 lb. of
fruit/bush), Northcountry (18-24", 3-5 lb.), Northblue (24-36", 3-9
lb.), Polaris and Chippewa (30-40", 3-8 lb.) and St. Cloud (30-40", 2-7
lb.).>>>
