At Superborówka Nursery, we specialize in delivering high-performance American blueberry cultivars to commercial growers and horticultural professionals. We are pleased to announce the upcoming...

Draper — Early-Season Efficiency With Premium Fruit Quality

Obraz:

Developed through the Michigan State University (MSU) breeding program, Draper is considered a reference-standard early-to-mid-season northern highbush cultivar. It features a compact, upright plant structure (1.2–1.5 m), supporting efficient canopy management and suitability for high-density planting systems.

Draper produces large, very firm berries with balanced sweetness and strong post-harvest durability — features that have made it one of the most commercially reliable early cultivars. MSU field evaluations confirm its high productivity, rapid establishment, and excellent adaptation to temperate climates similar to those of the Michigan fruit belt.

Draper is highly competitive for fresh-market premiums, IQF processing, and operations aiming for strong early-season returns.

Liberty — Reliable Mid-Season Production With Broad Market Versatility

Obraz:

Liberty, also developed within the MSU breeding program, is recognized for its vigorous growth, open upright architecture, and reliable cropping performance. Its medium-to-large, light blue berries offer firm texture and a versatile flavor profile suitable for both fresh consumption and processing.

The variety shows excellent post-harvest storage capacity, enabling longer marketing windows and enhancing logistics for domestic and export operations. MSU trials classify Liberty as a stable mid-season producer with solid soil adaptability and moderate winter hardiness.

Liberty is a proven choice for growers seeking dependable yields and diversified market potential.

Calypso — Uniform Ripening and Operational Precision

Obraz:

Calypso, a 2015 release from a Draper × Elliott cross, was bred for uniform ripening, high packout efficiency, and consistent fruit quality in commercial production systems. It produces large, firm berries with a refined sweet-tart balance and a low incidence of dry picking scar, reducing harvest losses.

The cultivar offers a high degree of ripening uniformity, simplifying labor planning and supporting predictable, efficient harvest operations. Reports from commercial trials indicate strong yields and hardiness comparable to Draper, with improved consistency in fruit size and quality.

Calypso is particularly suited for growers prioritizing uniformity, efficiency, and streamlined mid-season harvest logistics.


Pink — A Distinctive Specialty Variety for Market Differentiation

Obraz:

Pink is a unique mid-season variety valued for its naturally pink berries and mild tangy flavor. Its attractive coloration provides a strong point of differentiation in specialty retail, u-pick operations, edible landscaping, and gourmet applications.

While somewhat less cold-tolerant than traditional northern highbush cultivars, Pink delivers strong performance under moderate winter conditions. Its visual and culinary novelty supports premium pricing and diversified revenue strategies, especially in markets seeking distinctive consumer experiences.
