Berries remain on the plant several days after fully ripe. Most productive of all rabbiteye varieties and is the standard to which rabbiteyes are compared. Ripens early June. Ripens similar to Tifblue with better fruit color and more foliage. Resist cracking in periods of excess rain.
Plant is vigorous and upright.
Fruit has good flavor, not as firm but darker than Tifblue. Varieties A new category of blueberries has been developed for southern production. These varieties combine the late blooming date and shorter ripening period of the northern highbush and the low chill hours and adaptability to the southern environment of the rabbiteye. This combination results in a blueberry plant that blooms late to escape the possibility of frost damage to the flowers but matures its fruit by mid-May, at least 2 weeks earlier than rabbiteye. Recommended for southern areas of Mississippi.
