Currently, Aurora is the latest ripening highbush in northern Europe. The quality of fruit is not always as good as mid- or early-season varieties, as it can be very acidic. However, for those growers who want to take advantage of the late market prices, it is a good option.

High Chill
Aurora
Aurora blueberries are one of the latest ripening Highbush varieties. Berries are on average about 25% larger than Elliott with a slightly darker color. Aurora blueberries are often more resistant to cracking and shriveling than Elliott and as a result, it can be allowed to hang longer, and develop better flavor. We recommend the Aurora blueberry for growers where a cold hardy, hand harvest berry is desired to extend the fresh market season.
