The Alvar is a beautiful spherical shrub that immediately branches very well from below. It is very hardy and up to -30 ° C is possible. Gives tasty blueberries with a mild, sweet and aroma tic taste. The blueberries are rich in anthocyans, this is a valuable vegetable dye. The larger the berries, the better the taste. This plant gives a lot of fruits and is very frost resistant. Remains compact (half-high) and is therefore also suitable for planting in a small garden or in a pot for the balcony or terrace. The Alvar is a cross between the vaccinium corymbosum (normal blueberry) and the vaccinium angustifolium (wild, low blueberry).

Pollination
self -pollinating, but cross -pollination leads to larger berries. This bush is very fertile.
