Narrative
Very good fruit color and quality; small stem scar; firm; pleasant flavor; early ripening. Low chilling, requiring at least 350 hours below 7C; tolerant of climate of southeastern U.S.; diseases have not been a problem. Easy rooting. Bush: moderately vigorous; moderately productive; semi-upright. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. ASHS Press, 1997. p. 181.Midseason. Upright, vigorous productive bush. Medium to large fruit, very firm, small scar, excellent flavor and colorGeorgia Gem reminds us of its parent, Bluecrop. Bush appearance is similar, and berry quality is every bit as good. Appears more tolerant of higher pH than other southern highbush types. The University of Georgia and USDA released this variety after extensive trials in high heat areas. Production in the Southeast has been very good. Early trials in our test block have been equally impressive. Chilling requirements are reported at 300 to 350 hours. Recommended as a reliable fresh market producer of fine quality fruit.
