Narrative
Fruit: medium large; skin light blue; flesh firm; flavor good; ripens late midseason, with Tifblue. Adaped to the Gulf Coast and southeastern U.S. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 186.Adapted to Gulf Coast and Southeast USA. No longer planted commercially. Received as Vaccinium ashei. Southland ('Ethel' x 'Garden Blue') was named and released in 1969 (Brightwell 1969). The plant is moderately vigorous and produces a dense and compact plant. The plant suckers produsely and fruiting branches are generally short and at right angles to the main stem. You can scratch your hand while picking berries. The period of flowering coincides with 'Tifblue' making it a good companion cultivar for cross pollinating. Berries are light blue in color, medium to large in size, firm and of good flavor when fully ripe. -M.E. Austin, 1994. Rabbiteye Blueberries. Ag Science, Inc. Auburndale, FL. p. 16.
