Narrative
Fruit: cluster loose; berry very large; oblate; skin very light blue, very attractive; flesh firm, aroma slight, slightly subacid; dessert quality medium; not subject to cracking; stores well; scar very good; ripens late midseason, about 1 week after Stanley and 1 week before Jersey. Bush: productive; easy to propogate. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 175.Late midseason. Bush is open, spreading with strong canes. Easy to grow. Very productive in favorable environment. Fruit is very large, powder blue, small scar, mild flavor and large open clusterBerkeley remains quite popular for the U-Pick, fresh, and process markets. Although susceptible to spring frosts, Berkeley has produced higher yields per acre than any other variety. Does best in light, well-drained loams. The large, open clusters can be machine harvested or easily hand picked. Due to its susceptibility to some viruses and fungal diseases we recommend Berkeley for more isolated blueberry growing areas.

Phenotype Data

CategoryDescriptorDescriptionValueSample SizeStudyInventoryAvailability
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.6 Finn, Mackey, Postman, Martin 2017 Shock virus Not Available
