‘Vaccinium corymbosum Bluecrop’ is an American blueberry. 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 berries are not very attractive to birds, but sometimes covering the plants is necessary. The most important thing with a blueberry is the type of soil. As the name says, the plant likes forest soil, so the soil has to be acidic and permeable. Otherwise, the plant will produce little fruit or even die. 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. These play an important role in the ageing process. Antioxidants are anti-inflammatory, cholesterol-lowering and protect against various diseases, such as cancer. There are few foods that contain more antioxidants than blueberries. A super healthy berry!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
