In recent days, the pink blueberries have been gaining interest on the basis of fantasy fire, and more at $400 per pound. In fact, pink blueberries are not new and have been introduced into the country more than a decade ago, with most of them sold in the market in the “fresh and pink”。

Pink blueberries are real
But it's hard to grow
According to publicly available information, blueberries, the “red pink man”, are the southern high-classed blueberry species that were conceived in 2006 in the united states of america. The unique pink fruit, sweet acid balance, and greater adaptability are brought to the attention of growers。
The director of the alpine economic and botanical research institute of the yunnan academy of agricultural sciences and gargawan informed the station's correspondents that pink blueberries are a natural result of hybrid selection, and that the wild blueberries in nature have different colours, such as red and white, and are not dyed or genetically modified products. However, production of pink blueberries is very low both abroad and domestically。
Pink blueberries are currently demanding conditions for planting. In the case of the “fresh and pink” species, it is appropriate to grow acid sandy soil at ph 4. 5-5. 2, with good drainage and organic content of 5%. The team has also been testing the species, which has not worked as well。
Whether on-line on the electrician platform, or on-line on the agricultural market, or on-line, even in yunnan province, where we have the largest and highest production of blueberries, it is difficult to find a vendor selling pink blueberries. As a result, there is no firm basis for the price of $400 per pound。
In his view, the price will naturally be high, with only yunnan and some southern cities, such as zhejiang hangzhou, experimenting on a small scale。
Yang jung-soon, a researcher at the alpine institute of economics and plants of the academy of agricultural sciences of yunnan province, stated that pink blueberries were also less resilient and did not adapt to long-distance transport, and therefore could not be purchased by outside consumers。
In addition to the pink beauty, the country has a variety of pink blueberries, such as pink popcorn, the pink universe. The university blueberry biobreeding team has also developed the national pink blueberry type "photray." according to team member xu guohui, associate professor at the institute of life health at dalian university, the species is currently being tested on a small scale around the yunnan red river, kunming。

On the internet, pink blueberries are mostly ai pictures
There's a rumour about the vase
The pink blueberry pictures displayed on social platforms and on the electrician platform are mostly fluent pink, and some of them even show a clitorisy sense of quality. In fact, most of these are synthesized by ai, not true。

It is indicated that pink blueberries are usually purple in powder, mostly white or blue in the handle, and do not have full pink or red state. The picture that xu guohui gave to the news reporter shows that the blueberries are purple。
With regard to the nutritional value of pink blueberries, experts have denied the rumour that there are “five times as many flowers as ordinary blueberries” on the internet. Xu kuohui indicated that some pink varieties, which were less luscious than ordinary blueberries because of the decrease in chromosomal composition, were integrated in fruit nutrition, were low and were supplemented by other nutrients。
What's so special about pink blueberries? Xu kuo-hui told the journalists that there was an additional fragrance, a dim fragrance and herbs, no different from the other blueberries, and normal berries。

But family farming is extremely difficult
Although pink blueberries could not be bought, they opened up the shopping platform, and various types of pink blueberry seedlings were hotly sold online, and a number of businesses launched slogans such as “north-south availability, results for the year, 95 per cent hanging fruit”. On some social platforms, the cultivation of pink blueberries has become a new trend。
Pink blueberry seedlings sold online
One blueberry grower, who had grown his own pink blueberries on the internet for four consecutive years, had been unable to produce the desired fruit。
Xu kuohui, associate professor at the faculty of life and health of the university of dalian, pointed out that the true nature of sales of pink blueberry seedlings on the market is questionable and requires fruit to be identified, while pink blueberry cultivation is difficult and less likely for ordinary consumers to grow successfully。
The expert cautioned that it was not excluded that some businesses used common blueberry seedlings, undeployed raw seedlings, to be used as powdered varieties, and recommended that families should not buy pink blueberry seedlings blindly, with a high risk of death of trees with long leaves。
Although the pink blueberries are now a small surprise and do not meet the requirements of the promotion market, xu kuohui indicates that his team is working on the development of different colours of blueberries, such as pink, yellow, red, and so on, and that in the future we are expected to have domestic blueberries of diverse colours and tastes。
