Narrative
Fruit: cluster size medium, loose; berries large, oblate; skin light blue; flesh very firm, subacid, flavor good, resistant to cracking, moderately aromatic, dessert quality good; scar good; season very early with or before Weymouth. Bush: hardy; upright; vigorous; well-shaped; productive; a fine early variety for Maryland northward. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 180.Earliest season. Excellent upright bush, moderately vigorous and easy to grow. Fruit is medium large, light blue, good quality and flavorEarliblue continues to be very popular for a fresh market and U-Pick variety as it produces the first quality berries on the market. Not as heavy a producer as the mid-season varieties but the gross dollar return per acre can be excellent since the early season price is usually higher. Avoid frost pockets and poorly drained soil. Closer spacings are popular with this and most other early varieties to increase production. Mechanical harvesting is quite successful with Earliblue when targeted for the process market.

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