Cultivation

A high-yielding, low-chill southern highbush blueberry. Origin: from the cross FL 91-69 × NC 1528 made at the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station in 1989. Selected in 1993 at Gainesville, Fla. Tested as FL 95-209-A. Released in 2001. USPP 12165. Tree: vigorous, intermediate between spreading and upright, chilling requirement similar to Sharpblue, 200–300 h. Requires cross pollination for high fruit set. Appears to have good field resistance to phytophthora root rot, cane canker, and stem blight. Fruit: ripens a week later than Star, and equal to Sharpblue. Large, with excellent scar and firmness and sweet, subacid flavor. Color medium blue.
