Title: Rabbiteye Blueberry Cultivar Performance
Authors: W.A. Dozier, Jr., A.W. Caylor, D.G. Himelrick, A.A. Powell and J.R. Akridge
Abstract:
'Tifblue,' 'Premier,' and 'Powderblue' were the
highest producing cultivars tested.
Economic
analysis showed these three cultivars generate
the greatest income per hectare even though
fruit from earlier ripening culitvars received
higher prices some years.
Late spring frosts
resulted in more damage and greater reduction
in yields of some early flowering and coldsensitive
cultivars such as 'Climax,' 'Woodard'
and 'Delite.' Sequence of maturity dates and
number of harvests required per year varied by
cultivar and year.
Fruit size varied by cultivar
and year, with the largest fruit being produced
by 'Delite,' 'Climax,' and 'Powderblue.' Fruit of
'Climax,' 'Garden Blue,' 'Homebelle,' and 'Menditoo'
had the highest percent soluble solids and
'Delite' had the lowest.
