Narrative
Old eastern selection grown extensively in Washington State in the 1960's and 1970's because of its adaptation to mechanical harvesting. Fruit medium-small; hangs on the bush and allows harvest in two pickings. Fair quality. Originally selected by Elizabeth C. Shite of New Lisbon, New Jersey. Midseason fruit. Bush erect, open strong canes. Vigorous, very productive. Berries medium sized, light blue, very sweet. Open cluster, concentrates ripening extremely well.1613A, Hardyblue, is a tie proven variety with significant acreage planted throughout the Northwest. It is a consistent, heavy producer of excellent quality medium size process berries. The bush shape, open cluster, and twice pick characteristics make it one of the best for mechanical harvesting. Excellent for on farm sales but not suitable for long distance fresh shipping. Highly recommended wherer a heavy producing process berry is desired. Seems more adaptable to heavier soils than most varieties.
