Narrative
Fundy - An extremely vigorous lowbush blueberry with large fruit. Origin: open-pollinated seedling of Augusta selected in 1969 at Kentville Research Centre, Nova Scotia, Canada. Tested in Eastern Canada under the number 69-1 and released in 1988. Fruit: ovate with a heavy bloom. Berry very large, averaging 0.72 g per berry, with the largest berries exceeding 1 g. Clusters of berries are held on upright stems, making hand harvesting efficient. The pedicel scar is medium and the calyx end is closed. Fresh flavor is good but not as intense as for Cumberland. Berries mature uniformly within the cluster in early midseason. about 4 days after Brunswick and 4 days before Blomidon. Plant: extremely vigorous, with strong, erect sprouts reaching up to 40 cm in height. Leaves averate 29 mm x 15 mm and are slightly glossy. Flowers in the middle of the bloom period with white corollas that are 6 mm long. Pollen production is good, but Fundy is self-incompatible. Roots readily from softwood cuttings.
Released from Nova Scotia, introduced in 1988, tested as 69-1.
NAMED FOR= the Bay of Fundy, between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia
