Blueberry though one of the most valuable berry plants is limited in its occurrence in Lithuania. One of the reason – is lack of local cultivars. Over 1993 – 2004 the largest blueberry germ plasm was established in Kaunas Botanical Garden at VDU. This collection has been used for breeding of new cultivars. Seedlings ‘No.11, ’‘No.16’ and ‘No.17’ were investigated in Kaunas Botanical Garden over 2002 – 2004. The investigation aimed at estimating of productivity, character of fruiting and biochemical composition of berries. The obtained result were compare with those of halth-highbush ‘Northcountry’. Fruiting of 4 – 6 year old bushes was estimated, mean earliness of fruiting, berry size, volume and average yield for 3 seedling numbers were determined. Seedlings numbers ‘No.11, ��‘No.16’ and ‘No.17’might be classified as early cultivars. The main port of the blueberry yield was obtained in the first picking, due to this mechanised picking might be applied. The plants produce tasty, good marketable appearance and biochemical composition. The best marketable appearance typical of ‘No. 17’, the biggest berries – ‘No. 11����. The most productive were ‘No. 16’ and ‘No. 17’, their mean productivity is two times higher than that of ‘Northcountry’.
