A recent trip from Rupert and soufiane to #Spain, looking at GPG #Blueberry trials in #Huelva, showed some amazing #Tropical#Blue, 10 month old #plants, so we thought we would share!
Exceptionally early, super productive plants with high yield.
An exciting few months ahead...
It is not often that the GPG Team gets together at the office, as we work all over the globe… So we thought we would take this opportunity to have a team photo, or two!
Another successful year for GPG, with a very strong and committed team.
Thanks, Everyone!

Growers of blueberries will be able to access some of the very best low-chill & evergreen varieties in the world.
The country is full of potential for the blueberry crop as it expands into the production of non-native species. #blueberries#India#varieties#genetics#licensing
You may have seen our update in August, looking at Von in action in The Netherlands… The first visit was such a success, with The Greenery, we visited again, last week to see the latest from the various Von crops...
Thank you to all those involved in another successful trip.
We were honoured to take part in the @blueberriescl event this week in Agadir, Morocco. Without doubt, at this moment, it is a time for solidarity and respect after recent events in the country and we would like to further extend our condolences to those affected.
@globalplantgen What a great success these days were. The Von variety is rightfully at the forefront of better tasting and sweeter eating blackberries 🤩
We’ve had a great week in #Oregon together with our blueberry breeding partners, Oregon #Blueberry and a range of #international#crop specialists.
The quality of the #genetics coming through the programme has enthused us greatly for both the near & far future.
Stay tuned!
We strongly expect this #variety to be competing in the top 3 #blueberry varieties in the #world in the next 3-5 years.
''Forward planning for #growers wanting access will be crucial'' said Rupert Hargreaves.
Major #blueberry#investment!
Excitement is brimming in the Global Plant Genetics team with the purchase of the #global#licences for 3 of the world's most exciting #blueberry varieties from the #UniversityOfGeorgia
Sweet Duchess, Maverick, and Gladiator.
