Narrative
Fruit: Large, with good color, scar, firmness, and flavor; early ripening. Bush: productive, vigorous, semi-upright; widely adapted. Low chilling, about 400 hours. Resistant to stem canker race 1. - Brooks and Olmo Register of Fruit and Nut Varieties. 1997. ASHS Press. p. 184.O'NEAL is recommended for trial throughout the southeastern U.S., as a very-early to early ripening cultivar which should replace Wolcott. It is productive and produces very large fruit, with good color and excellent picking scar, firmness, and flavor. It sets a new standard for flavor among early-ripening southern highbush cultivars. A tough skin and excellent picking scar compensate somewhat for an undesirable soluble solids/acids ratio in extending shelf-life. The O'NEAL plant is vigorous, semi-upright in habit, and widely adapted. It performs well in the coastal plain, and on lighter soils in the piedmont (with mulching incorporation of organic matter). It is early blooming with a chilling requirement of around 400 hrs, and frost protection is recommended to insure regular cropping. Flowers are self-fertile. O'NEAL is very easy to propagate from cuttings. It is field tolerant to the predominant race of stem canker in North, Carolina and reasonably field tolerant to stem blight. It is susceptible to blueberry bud mite, but not nearly as susceptible as Wolcott.O'NEAL is intended primarily as a large-fruited, very high quality, early-ripening cultivar for hand harvest for commercial shipment. It is also adapted for PYO plantings in the piedmont of the southeast with appropriate soil modification and permanent irrigation. The name O'NEAL is in honor of Mr. J.M. O'Neal , Jr. who devoted 20 years to the. blueberry and strawberry breeding programs at N.C. State University.Good color and quality, susceptible to stem canker and mites, low chilling

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