全面报道了蓝浆果(Vaccinium L.spp.)在中国的生产情况,共分为南、北两大区域。北区是指以吉林省为主的东北地区,南区指长江以南广阔的酸性红壤土地区。果用野生种只分布在东北地区。自20世纪80年代起开始引种欧美栽培品种,共达60余个。在北区以吉林农业大学为主,在南区以江苏省·中国科学院植物研究所为主, 采用组培和扦插方法繁殖,南、北两区均各有年产百万株以上苗木的能力。在南、北两区的适宜地区,如吉林、江苏和贵州等省,都已选出各自的适栽品种,栽培后的产量和果实质量分别均可达到国外优良水平,显示了蓝浆果在中国发展的巨大前景。

The general situation of blueberry(Vaccinium L. spp.)growing in China is reported. There are two major growing regions: one in the Northeast of China, mainly in Jilin Province, and the other in the vast territory of acidic red soils in the South of the Yangtze River. Wild species used as fruits are only distributed in the Northeast of China. Introduction of cultivated cultivars started in the 1980’ s and altogether more than 60 cultivars have been introduced. The capacity of propagation of seedlings by cuttings and tissue culture is more than one million per year in each of the two regions. Suitable cultivars have been selected for two regions and the yield and fruit quality of the plantations in both regions, including in Jilin, Jiangsu and Guizhou provinces are equal to the native products from North America respectively. This indicates the great potential for the development of blueberries in China.
