Cultivation

Origin: by Agr. Res. Serv., U.S. Dept. of Agriculture and Maine Agr. Expt. Sta., Orono. US 3 (Dixi × Michigan Lowbush 1) × Earliblue; cross made in Beltsville, Md.; seedlings planted in Jonesboro, Maine, in 1954; selected in Maine in 1957; tested as MeUS 32. Tree: upright; vigorous; relatively open highbush; plant survival has been superior to present highbush cultivars in Maine and consistently more productive; resistant to Phytophthora cinnamomi. Recommended for home garden, market use, particularly for the northeastern United States. Named in recognition of the U.S. bicentennial. Fruit: berries large, slightly flat, averaging 49/cup at midharvest and 70/cup in late harvest; scar is small, dry, recessed; color good; flavor very good; ripens with Collins or between Earliblue and Bluecrop.
