MegasBlue is a blueberry variety created by Bob Gabriel, owner of Oregon Blueberry Farms and Nursery USA. Bob is a major producer of both fresh and processed blueberries, as well as having a nursery known for the quality of its plants.

In the early 2000s, Bob developed a blueberry breeding program that has grown tremendously for 20 years. One of the first releases of this program was the MegasBlue variety.

MegasBlue has vigorous plants that require approximately 1.000 units of cold hours per year. Large fruits are light blue in color and show no red signs at harvest. The variety works for both fresh production and mechanized harvesting, producing fruits with a good balance between sugar and acid.

MegasBlue will be a great addition to many farms where Northern Highbush blueberries are produced for use in fresh and processed. The high-yielding variety is ready to replace many traditional varieties, as improvements in yield, taste, and size are important.

Licensed nurseries are multiplying the volume of MegasBlue and are seeing good demand.
