Cultivation

An early to mid-season ripening southern highbush blueberry. Origin: University of Georgia and USDA-ARS, by D. Scott NeSmith and Arlen Draper. MS-122 × MS-6; selected in 1996; tested as TH-621; introduced in 2005. USPP 18,151; 30 Oct. 2007. Tree: highly vigorous, strong cane growth; open, spreading bush habit and narrow crown; flowers 5 to 8 d after Star and O’Neal in south Georgia; yield similar to Star but exceeds O’Neal; estimated chill hour requirement 450 to 500 h; suitable for fresh market; propagation moderately easy from softwood cuttings; plants somewhat self-fertile but should be planted with other southern highbush cultivars with a similar time of bloom for cross-pollination. Fruit: large, 1.8 to 2.0 g; very light blue color; small, dry picking scar; good firmness and excellent flavor; ripens a few days after Star, but before O’Neal.
