Draft:List of blueberry cultivars

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Blueberries of different sizes. Fruit size is a major trait of interest for blueberry breeders

The following is a partial list of blueberry cultivars. Blueberry is a fruit crop native to North America, composed of several species and inter-specific hybrids of the genus Vaccinium, including Vaccinium corymbosum (highbush blueberry), Vaccinium angustifolium (lowbush blueberry) and Vaccinium virgatum (rabbit-eye blueberry).

Starting with the development of cultivated blueberry in the early 20th century, horticulturalists and plant breeders have continuously worked to develop improved cultivars (cultivated varieties) of blueberry.
