Narrative
Fruit: ripens later than Angola and Wolcott but before Murphy; clusters long, faily loose, attractive, slightly larger than those of Angola, Wolcott, Weymouth, and Murphy; berry medium to large, globose; scar excellent; flesh medium firm, aromatic, sweet to subacid depending on degree of ripeness; good dessert quality; may produce 1 1/2 to 2 times the yield of Wolcott and Murphy; tends to ripen quickly in some seasons and must be picked on a shorter schedule for best results. Bush: resistant but not immune to canker; more reistant to bud mite than Wolcott, Murphy, and Weymouth; vigorous; precocoius; productive; dense leaf cover. Since 1960 considered a standard variety of North Carolina. For many years, it has accounted for more than half the blueberry acreage in North Carolina. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 179.Since 1960, considered a standard cultivar of North CarolinaNote on the word 'Croatan'Croatoan Island is an island near Cape Hatteras, North Carolina.It is speculated that the Roanoke colonists might have fled there. Reasons given for this include the colonists' friendship with Monteo, a native of Croatoan Island, and a carving of the word 'C-R-O-A-T-O-A-N' into a post of the fort (and 'C-R-O' into a nearby tree), ostensibly to let John White know where they had fled. White was unable to search Croatoan Island because a hurricane hit the outer banks of North Carolina and blew his fleet to sea. After the storm abated, the fleet was low on provisions and decided to return to England. Non of the original colonists was found. Croatan Indians are thought to be descendants of early intermixtures of white settlers and native peoples.
