Blueberry plant named ‘Hortblue Poppins’

Abstract

A new and distinct variety of Northern Highbush blueberry plant is described. The variety results from selection among a population of seedlings derived from crossing the blueberry variety known as ‘Nui’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 6,699) and an unnamed seedling selection called 1386 (not patented). The fruit of this new variety has an attractive appearance characterised by outstanding fruit quality with a good bloom and good firmness; the plant has a characteristic upright habit, good architecture and attractive foliage. The new variety has been named ‘Hortblue Poppins’.
