Narrative
Berry: size medium (about the same as Croatan); dark blue; scar, firmness, and flavor good. Flowers a few days before Croatan in eastern North Carolina, and ripens about the same time as Reveille and O'Neal and somewhat before Croatan. Bush: upright; vigoruous; good productiveity; not completely self-fruitful and should be interplanted with another clone, such as Reveille; resistant to cane canker; field tolerance to stem blight. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 175.Tetraploid 'southern highbush' type involving 3 species of Southern origin: V. darrowi, V. ashei, and V. tenellum This blueberry genotype is intended for release as a complementary cultivar to 'Reveille'. 'Bladen' is superior to 'Reveille, in fruit color development at harvest and for resistance to fruit cracking in wet weather.'Bladen' is early ripening (generally a little earlier than 'Reveille' and 'O'Neal') with good productivity, quality, fruit color, firmness, picking scar, and modest fruit size. It is the second highbush blueberry cultivar developed in North Carolina that is adapted to mechanical harvesting for fresh market outlets.Mechanically harvested fruit of 'Bladen' is equal or superior to hand harvested fruit of 'Croatan' for both fruit color and firmness. Picking ease is similar to 'Croatan', placing it in the desirable range for mechanical harvesting. The soluble solids/acids ration of the ripe fruit is significantly lower than 'Croatan' and similar to 'Bounty', indicating good potential for extended shelf life. Fruit storage studies also indicate that the shelf life of machine and hand-harvested fruit of 'Bladen' is generally superior to 'Croatan'.'Bladen' bushes are upright and vigorous with a slightly wider canopy than 'Reveille'. In greenhouse studies, the blossoms were not completely self fruitful. Planting a pollinator cultivar such as 'Reveille' or 'O'Neal' in every 5th row will insure adequate cross-pollination. Ripening is 4 to 5 days earlier than 'Reveille' if no freeze damage occurs to blossoms. Blossoming is also earlier than 'Reveille' -thus making freeze-protection irrigation absolutely essential for reliable cropping. 'Bladen' roots readily from either softwood or hardwood cuttings. It has shown excellent field resistance to stem canker, and some tolerance to stem blight and mummy berry.
