Olympos blueberries belong to a series of American blueberries bred by the Cieplucha nursery. Their names come from Greek mythological deities, hence the name of the entire series.
The breeding process utilized only northern blueberries with high frost resistance. The goal was to develop varieties with large and firm fruit, with an emphasis on early and very early-bearing varieties. The most important parameters in selection were: size, hardiness/firmness, yield, shelf life, BRIX, plant vigor, and health.
All varieties are PBR protected in the European Union.
The series includes four varieties:
Athena – very early
A high-yielding variety with a very early fruiting season (before Duke), and the sweetest fruit of all the varieties in the 'Olympus Blueberry' series. The fruit is quite firm, light blue, and clustered in loose clusters.
Demeter – early
An early-yielding blueberry variety (a week and a half before CalypsoPBR). The fruit is medium-sized (3 grams, 18.5 milimetres), very crunchy, and has exceptionally good shelf life (no deterioration in fruit parameters after three weeks of storage). This is an exceptionally high-yielding variety (50 per cent higher yields than Duke). The fruit is low in acidity and sweet in flavour. The bushes have a good, strong, and upright habit.
Zeus – mid-early
A mid-early, high-yielding variety, ripening several to a dozen or so days before CalypsoPBR. Large, very firm fruit. It is distinguished by its light blue colour and exceptional shelf life. The fruit is aromatic, sweet, and clustered in loose clusters. This may prove to be one of the best commercial varieties.
Apollin – Late
A late-bearing blueberry variety (ripening approximately one week after DraperPBR). The fruit is large in size (3.3 grams, 19 milimetres), with good shelf life.
