Definitions
- the new and distinct variety of highbush blueberry originated from a hand pollinated cross between two Florida highbush blueberry selections made in 1974 at the Florida Agricultural Experiment Station experimental greenhouse in Gainesville, Fla. The seeds from this controlled hybridization were germinated in a greenhouse during the winter of 1974-1975. Resulting seedlings were planted in the spring of 1975 in an experimental plot at Earleton, Fla. The seedlings fruited in the spring of 1977 and one, designated FL 77-3, was selected for its outstanding fruit quality and low chilling requirement.
- Bushes of the new variety are medium in vigor and upright in growth.
- the plant produces enough basal shoots to renew the plant as it ages, but it is not a heavy sprouter.
- the plant produces a large number of flower buds, but the number of flower buds is not excessive if the plant is grown on favorable soils.
- the variety has shown no signs of delayed flowering or fruiting, even following winters in which fewer than 300 hours of temperatures below 7° C. were recorded.
- Plants of the new variety appear to be moderate to high in resistance to cane canker incited by Botryosphaeria corticus. They appear to be normal or above normal in resistance to Phytophthora root rot, stem blight, Botrytis blight, and fungi which cause defoliation in the fall.
- Plants of the new variety have a very low chilling requirement. Average date of 50% anthesis is 6 days before Georgiagem and 8 days after Sharpblue. Average date of 50% harvest for the new variety is May 7, five days later than for Sharpblue and one day later than for Georgiagem. The average date of the first harvest from the new variety will be about May 1 in north-central Florida. Fruit of the new variety are medium in size, averging 1.6 g per berry. Color is dark blue with a moderately heavy waxy coating. Both the stem scar and the firmness are excellent, and the fruit detach readily from the plant when ripe. These last three characteristics should make the new variety a good candidate for mechanical harvest for the fresh market. Flavor is good and similar to Sharpblue.
- the new variety has been named the Marimba variety.
- Internode length --1.2 cm. Color of 1-year-old stems -- red-pink. Color of current-season stems -- green-pink.
- the variety has moderately high self-incompatibility
- Berry flavor and texture --Flavor sweet with moderate acid level. Skins of normal thickness and seeds of normal size for a cultivated highbush blueberry.
- the variety The most distinctive features of the variety are its low chilling requirement, disease resistance, excellent berry stem scar, and good firmness.
