Rootstocks and fruit trees supplier adds three license blueberry varieties to the range

Since 2017, based in Emmeloord, the Netherlands Fairplant has started producing blueberry plants in-house. Recently Michigan State University (MSU) has granted Fairplant the licenses for three varieties: Draper®, Liberty® and Aurora®.

"To better meet the demand we have chosen to grow blueberries in-house. We are pleased that in Europe and the UK we can now also line up these three common licensing varieties. MSU's emeritus professor James Hancock began breeding these varieties in the 1990s. They were launched in 2004 and still belong to one of the industry's best varieties”, - shares Rik Klein, sales manager.

In the near future the company plans to deliver their variety package of blueberries as organic (or so called ‘BIO’) plants.

To know more come to meet Fairplant at the expo-SE fair in Karlsruhe, Germany (November 20 and 21)  or visit the website www.fairplant.nl.
