Comment: Jewel is a patented release from the University of Florida breeding program with a moderately low chilling requirement, very early ripening, and high berry quality. In Gainesville, Jewel typically flowers about February 16 and begins ripening about 5 days earlier than Sharpblue. The average date when commercial harvest for Jewel begins in Gainesville is about April 15 and harvest is normally finished by May 12. Jewel produces a large number of flower buds but leafs well in the spring. Vigor is about equal to Sharpblue but Jewel is shorter and more spreading than Sharpblue. Berry quality is excellent but tends to be tart until fully ripe. Berry size is about equal to Sharpblue, but firmness and scar are much better than Sharpblue. Jewel may be considered for trial from Ocala north into SE Georgia. In central Florida, Jewel has looked good in some fields, producing large early berries but these plantings are still young. Jewel is moderately susceptible to Phytophthora root rot. Overhead irrigation is recommended for freeze protection wherever Jewel is grown.

Narrative
A new and distinct low-chill tetraploid highbush blueberry (Vacinnium) variety of complex ancestry, based largely on V. corymbosum L with some genes from V. darrowi Camp. Its novelty consists of the following unique combination of features: 1. Produces a bush that is upright, but somewhat spreading. 2. Has a medium level of resistance to cane canker (Botryosphaeria corticis), stem blight (Botryosphaeria dothidia), and root rot (Phytophthora cinnamomi). 3. Flowers very early in north central Florida (Gainesville). Date of full bloom in Gainesville averages about February 10, seven days before `Sharpblue` (an unpatented variety that is widely grown in Florida). 4. Produces numerous flower buds and flowers heavily and synchronously in areas that receive 250 hours or more of temperatures below 45.degree. F. per winter. 5. Ripens 5-7 days earlier than `Sharpblue`. First commercial harvest averages April 15 in Gainesville, Fla., and peak harvest is about April 25. 6. Produces fruit that are large, firm, have a good picking scar, with tart to sweet flavor and good texture. 7. Can be propagated asexually by softwood cuttings.
