Narrative
Fruit: size medium; ripens with Earliblue. Yield very high. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 186Early. Ripens between Earliblue and Bluecrop, upright, very vigorous bush, extremely productive. Fruit is medium blue, medium size, small scar, and firm. This introduction from New Zealand is really starting to gain attention. Reka is one of the fastest growing, most adaptable varieties we have ever evaluated. It is growing well in light sandy soils, peat, and heavier clay loams. Reka seems to tolerate wetter ground than many other varieties. Growers are especially enthused over Reka's production. The yield curve is quite steep, out producing most others in the early years and keeping up with Bluecrop at maturity. While Reka is successful in the fresh market, process growers like Reka for its superior machine harvest characteristics and high yields.

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