Lyrene, P.M.
Abstract: A new and distinct low-chill tetraploid highbush blueberry (Vaccinium) variety of complex hybrid ancestry, based largely on V. corymbosum with some genes of V. darrowi. 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 (Botryosphaeria corticis) and medium resistance to stem blight (B. dothidia) and phytophthora root rot Phytophthora cinnamomi). 3. Flowers and fruits well in areas of central and north Florida where the mean temperature of the coldest month is 60 degrees 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.
