About blueberries
In the fall of 2018, we planted a total of 350 Southern highbush blueberry varieties (Eureka, Twilight, and OPI) and are growing them using hydroponic cultivation.
Both are Australian patented varieties developed and bred by MBO.
Characteristics of 3 varieties
Eureka
The fruit is very hard and has a crisp texture. It is sweet, has a good aroma, and has a long shelf life. A precious blueberry with a luxurious feel.
Mr. Bell, who developed this variety, calls it ``the best variety in my breeding career.''
The variety was named "Eureka". "Eureka" means "great discovery" in Greek.
Twilight
Blueberries have a good balance of sweetness and sourness, and have a crisp and refreshing texture.
It is large, beautiful, bright blue, and has a fruity sweetness.
OPI
It is one of the earliest cultivars in the world to ripen, producing medium-sized, but mildly fragrant fruit.
It has very little acidity and has a fruity and elegant sweetness.
