Narrative
Fruit: light blue color; scar good; firm; flavor good; late ripening, with Jersey. Bush: vigouous; low-growing; highly productive. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 176.Midseason. Compact, spreading bush to 4 ft. Extremely productive. Fruit is very round, sky blue, exceptionally firm, with a small recessed scar Cold hardy.We bring Bluegold back by popular demand. When first released in 1990, Bluegold was thought to be late ripening. We were disappointed to learn that this variety was actually midseason, ripening most all of its fruit within the first two pickings of Bluecrop. A pleasant surprise was the very high production of truly superior fruit. The berries are very firm, flavorful, and evenly sized. Shelf life in normal storage as well as controlled atmosphere has been outstanding. A particularly exciting feature is the concentrated ripening, making Bluegold one of the easiest varieties for hand harvest and a good candidate for mechanical harvesting. We recommend Bluegold for growers desiring a superior quality midseason berry that can be profitably hand picked.
