US Classification:

PLT157

Abstract:

A new and distinct low-chill tetraploid highbush blueberry (Vaccinium) variety of complex hybrid ancestry, based largely on with some genes of. Its novelty consists of the following unique combination of features: 1. Produces a vigorous bush that is upright but somewhat spreading. 2. Has high resistance to cane canker ( ) and medium resistance to stem blight ( ) and phytophthora root rot ). 3. Flowers and fruits well in areas of central and north Florida where the mean temperature of the coldest month is 60Â F. or colder. 4. Ripens its fruit 60 days after flowering in north-central Florida (latitude 29. 5). 5. Ripens 80% of its fruit between April 10 and May 5 in north-central Florida. 6. Produces berries that are very large, firm, dark-blue in color, have a large and sometimes humid picking scars, and a sweet, pleasant flavor. 7. Propagates readily from softwood cuttings.

Abstract:

A new and distinct low-chill tetraploid highbush blueberry (Vaccinium) variety of complex hybrid ancestry, based largely on L. with some genes from Because of its interspecific hybrid origin, âMillenniaâ does not correspond exactly to any botanical species, but is closest to. It belongs to the commercial class of blueberry called âsouthern highbushâ. Its novelty consists of the following unique combination of features: 1. Produces a vigorous bush that is upright but somewhat spreading. 2. Has high resistance to cane canker ( ), medium resistance to phytophthora root rot ( ), and low to medium resistance to stem blight ( ). 3. Flowers and fruits well in areas of central and north Florida where the mean temperature of the coldest month is 57Â F. or colder. 4. Ripens its fruit 60 days after flowering in north-central Florida (latitude 29. 5). 5.

International Classification:

A01H 500

US Classification:

PLT157

Abstract:

âSouthern Belleâ is a new southern highbush blueberry variety that originated as a seedling selected from the University of Florida recurrent selection program, in which genes from and were being combined and selected to obtain varieties that are adapted to mild-winter regions and produce large, high-quality berries early in the harvest season. âSouthern Belleâ has been tested in clonal plots in south Georgia and north Florida since 1984. âSouthern Belleâ produces a vigorous, low-chill bush that sprouts abundantly from the base, and produces a heavy crop of fruit on stout, upright stems that can reach 4 to 5 m tall if not pruned. The berries, which ripen in late April and early May in north Florida, are large and have a very small, dry picking scar, as well as good firmness and a mild, subacid flavor. The berry picks free of stems and adhering dried corollas and has excellent post-harvest life if stored at 32Â F. The plant propagates readily from softwood cuttings.
