Narrative
Cross made in 1934. Fruit: cluster large, medium loose; berries roundish-oblate; skin very light blue; flesh very firm; subacid, flavor good; resistant to cracking; dessert quality above medium; moderately aromatic; scar small; ripens midseason, about 4 days before Berkley; stem somtimes clings to berry. Bush: up-right; spreading; vigorous; leaf size medium to below medium; very consistent producer; hardy; drought resistant. For many years, the world's most important blueberry cultivar. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 176.Midseason. Upright, vigorous bush, very productive. Fruit is light blue, very large, small scar, very firm, flavorful when ripe, won't crack or drop.Bluecrop is still the industry's standard of excellence and by far the most widely planted of any cultivar.An easy bush to grow, Bluecrop has very few problems. Withstands spring frosts quite well with high consistent yields. The fruit can be tart and show a large percentage of 'red backs' if picked too early. Bluecrop machine harvests fair after hand harvesting the first or second picking. In warmer areas it can be machine harvested successfully for all pickings. Bluecrop is recommended for all facets of blueberry production.

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.17 Finn, Mackey, Postman, Martin 2017 Shock virus Not Available
