Narrative

Frederick V. Coville. Principal Botanist, Divisiton of Plant Exploration and Introduction, Bureau of Plant Industry. 1937. Improving the wild blueberry. Yearbook of Agriculture. USDA Govt. Printing Office. Washington, D. C. p 569-570.Rubel was '...a wild blueberry form the pine barrens of New Jersey . This is, in form, the German spelling of the name of the old Russian coin, the rouble. The name of the blueberry variety, Rubel, however, is of neither German nor Russian derivation. The man who discovered this bush was Rube Leek. Rube did not seem an expressive name for a berry that was blue and beautiful, and Leek was suggestive of a flavor that the berry did not possess. Rubel was a compromise, made up of Mr. Leek's first name and the initial of his last. 'Late season. Upright bush of medium vigor Very consistent producer of quite small fruit with intense flavor and colorAfter almost 90 years of intensive breeding to make blueberries larger, lighter blue and thicker skinned we re-introduce Rubel, one of the first blueberry selections to be named. Despite the hundreds of new varieties released since 1912, this wild selection continues to be grown in many areas. Rubel offers consistent yields of small fruit borne on loose clusters, perfect for machine harvest. Rubel is well liked by processors because of its clean harvest, uniformly dark color, and low stem count. Food manufactures covet the small fruit as one of the best for muffins, yogurts, and dried products. Our newly released Rubel was carefully selected from a high producing, vigorous bush, thoroughly tested for viruses and phytoplasmas, and then tissue cultured for uniformity and vigor. We are very pleased with the results.Of additional interest to growers is Rubel's extremely high content of antioxidants, compounds that have been identified as playing a major part in improving eyesight, lowering cholesterol levels, and preventing cancer. We feel this recent research will open new markets for blueberries in general and Rubel in particular. We recommend Rubel for growers looking to mechanically harvest yet diversify their product base.

Rube Leek was the discoverer Frederick Coville named it for Rube's first name and last initial - he didn't think that Rube or Leek was appropriate alone so he called the plant Rubel

DISEASE	Blueberry 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.	8	Finn, Mackey, Postman, Martin 2017 Shock virus		Not Available
