Ridley 1403
ActiveVaccinium L. · Bilberry
RIDLEY WILLIAM BELL
10 August 2026
The bush is vigorous, with upright or slightly spreading shoots, reaching a height of 1.2 to 2.2 meters. The variety is characterized by a late ripening period: berries ripen from late August to mid-September. The plant possesses high disease resistance and frost resistance down to -32...-34°C.
The berries are medium-sized, weighing 1.5–2.1 g and 15–18 mm in diameter, with firm flesh and a sweet taste. The fruits are covered with an intense waxy bloom, remain on the bush for a long time, and are suitable for mechanized harvesting, transportation, and long-term storage. Cross-pollination is required for a high-quality yield.
