At this time of year blueberries are imported from Chile, Poland and France, but even in the summer British fruit growers struggle to keep up with demand. In Scotland the amount of blueberries grown has increased by 10% in the last year, but that's still just a drop in the ocean of growing demand. A research project funded by the Scottish Government is working on finding a hardy blueberry variety that is designed to grow and thrive in the UK. Charlotte Smith and Nancy Nicolson report. First broadcast on Farming Today, 2 February 2017.
