Variety description

10 August 2026

The Hele variety is a low-growing shrub with a height of 20 to 60 cm. The plant possesses good winter hardiness, where the ability to overwinter under snow cover allows it to adapt to harsh climatic conditions, including in northern regions.

The variety can be used as a berry crop for professional cultivation and for ornamental purposes. The variety also serves as a pollinator for other blueberry varieties.
