Narrative

The new and distinct variety of highbush blueberry originated from a hand pollinated cross between two Florida highbush blueberry selections made in 1974 at the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station experi mental greenhouse in Gainesville, Fla. The seeds from this controlled hybridization were germinated in a greenhouse during the winter of 1974-1975. Resulting seedlings were planted in the spring of 1975 in an experimental plot at Earleton, Fla. The seedlings fruited in the spring of 1977 and one, designated FL 77-3, was selected for its outstanding fruit quality and low chilling requirement.

During 1977, the original plant selection was propagated asexually by rooting softwood cuttings, and a test planting of three plants was established. In 1985 the clone was again propagated by softwood cuttings and a 15-plant plot was established in 1986 at the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station Horticultural Unit at Gainesville, Fla. The new variety has been asexually propagated by softwood cuttings on at least four other occasions. It roots readily from softwood cuttings. During asexual multiplication, the vegetative and fruit char acteristics of the original plant have been maintained. Bushes of the new variety are medium in vigor and upright in growth. The plant produces enough basal shoots to renew the plant as it ages, but it is not a heavy sprouter.

The plant produces a large number of flower buds, but the number of flower buds is not excessive if the plant is grown on favorable soils. The variety has shown no signs of delayed flowering or fruiting, even following winters in which fewer than 300 hours of temperatures below 7 C. were recorded. Plants of the new variety appear to be moderate to high in resistance to cane canker incited by Botryosphaeria corticus. They appear to be normal or above normal in resistance to Phytophthora root rot, stern blight, Botrytis blight, and fungi which cause defoliation in the fall. Plants of the new variety have a very low chilling requirement. Average date of 50% anthesis is 6 day before Georgiagem and 8 days after Sharpblue.

Average date of 50% harvest for the new variety is May 7, five days later than for Sharpblue and one day later than for Georgiagen. The average date of the first harvest from the new variety will be about May 1 in north-cen tral Florida. Fruit of the new variety are medium in size, averaging 1.6 g per berry. Color is dark blue with a moderately heavy waxy coating. Both the stem scar and the firmness are excellent, and the fruit detach readily from the plant when ripe. These last three characteristics should make the new variety a good candidate for mechanical harvest for the fresh market. Flavor is good and similar to Sharpblue.
