Narrative
Cross made in 1934. Fruit: cluster small, tight; berry very large; skin medium light blue; flesh firm, aromatic, flavor fine, noncracking; scar medium; ripens midseason with Ivanhoe and Rancocas; resembles Dixi. Bush: hardy; very productive, more consistent than Ivanhoe in New Jersey; very easily propageted by hardwood cutting; promising from New Jersey northward. Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. 176.Midseason. Bush is upright, multicaned, productive, vigorous. Large, very light blue fruit, firm, good shipping quality, excellent flavorBlueray particularly excels in marginal blueberry growing areas. It is more cold hardy than Bluecrop, but Blueray's most notable characteristic is its excellent performance in hot climates. Does best in intensive plantings with severe pruning. Tight clusters discourage machine harvesting the first picking.

CategoryDescriptorDescriptionValueSample SizeStudyInventoryAvailability
DISEASEBlueberry shock virus Ilar virus of Vaccinium growing in the Pacific Northwestern North America. The virus is transmitted by pollen or seed and can be detected by ELISA/RT-PCR. Presence of the virus causes flower and fruit drop. Infection occurs during bloom and the virus moves into other parts of the plant in an uneven but steady manner and may take several years to become fully systemic in mature bushes. In the year after infection, emerging flower and leaf tissues die rapidly at full bloom followed by regrowth. Once symptoms have been exhibited in all parts of the plant, the plant remains asymptomatic in subsequent years. Infection in young plants of some cultivars can stunt the plant for the remainder of its life, however, more typically production is lost for one year.2 Finn, Mackey, Postman, Martin 2017 Shock virus Not Available
