Variety description

10 August 2026

The variety belongs to the southern highbush blueberry group and is a plant with high growth vigor, having a compact form intermediate between upright and spreading. The height of a mature plant is approximately 1.2–1.8 meters.

The plant is characterized by very early fruit maturity and low chilling requirements, amounting to less than 100–200 chilling hours. Due to early flowering, the variety is susceptible to the risk of crop damage by spring frosts.

Berries are medium-sized, light blue, possess good firmness and a high-quality picking scar. The variety is susceptible to stem blight and is intended primarily for commercial fresh market production in regions with mild winters, as well as for container cultivation.
