Abstract

A southern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) cultivar particularly distinguished by having a low chilling requirements (300 hours below 7° C.) with prolific early-spring leafing, a vigorous, dense bush with numerous canes, dark green leaves and good survival in the field, early ripening (50% ripe berries in north Florida by May 5) and a high yield of berries that are sweet and firm with a small, dry picking scar.

Description

Genus and species: Vaccinium corymbosoum L.
Variety Denomination: ‘Farthing’.
BACKGROUND OF THE NEW PLANT
The invention relates to a new and distinct variety of southern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) hybrid plant named ‘Farthing.’ ‘Farthing’ is intended for production of fresh-market blueberries in early spring from areas with mild winters and early spring warmth. ‘Farthing’ is a southern highblush blueberry clone distinguished by its low chilling requirement, its vigorous, disease-resistant bush and by its very firm sweet berries that ripen from late April through mid-May when grown in north Florida. Several thousand plants of ‘Farthing’ have been propagated by softwood cuttings at Gainesville, Fla. and the resulting plants have all been phenotypically indistinguishable from the original plant.
‘Farthing’ originated as a seedling from the cross of the proprietary female parent, ‘FL 96-27’ (unpatented) with the male parent, ‘Windsor’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,783) and was made as part of the University of Florida breeding program in a greenhouse at Gainesville, Fla. in February, 1996. The seedling was first fruited in a high-density field nursery in the spring of 1998. After the third year of fruiting in the field, in the spring of 2000, ‘Farthing’ was propagated by softwood cuttings in June, 2000, and a 20-plant test plot was established as part of a variety test in a commercial field at Windsor, Fla. in January, 2001. Based on the growth and yield of this plot, ‘Farthing’ was re-propagated by softwood cuttings in June 2002, and test plots were planted the following winter on blueberry farms in north Florida at Archer (500 plants), Waldo (500 plants), and Windsor (100 plants). These plots were observed carefully from flowering through fruit ripening each year, and no mutations or off-type plants have been observed. The present invention has been found to retain its distinctive characteristics through successive asexual propagations.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The following are the most outstanding and distinguishing characteristics of this new cultivar when grown under normal horticultural practices in Florida.
    • 1. A low chilling requirement with prolific early-spring leafing;
    • 2. A vigorous, dense bush with numerous canes and dark green leaves;
    • 3. Early ripening (50% ripe berries north Florida by May 5 and about 6 days later than ‘Star’); and
    • 4. Berries that are sweet and firm with a small, dry picking scar.
DESCRIPTION OF THE PHOTOGRAPHS
The color chart used in this specification is “The Pantone Book of Color”, by Leatrice Eiseman and Lawrence Herbert. (1990). Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, N.Y. Where colors in the drawings differ from the Pantone color designations in the descriptions, the Pantone color designations are accurate. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures.
FIG. 1 shows a row of ‘Farthing’ plants in late April in north Florida. The row was established 4 and one-half years earlier using small rooted cuttings. The dense canopy, dark-green leaves, and the presentation of the berries on the outer surface of the bush are visible.
FIG. 2 shows several clusters of opening flowers during the early stages of flowering in February. The flowers are pink in color here but are more nearly white if the weather is warmer during flowering, and the pink fades to white as the flowers become more mature.
FIG. 3 shows several clusters of berries ripening in the field. The freckling pattern is due to naturally occurring minerals in the water being used in overhead irrigation of the plants and is not an inherent feature of the berries.
FIG. 4 shows both the upper and lower surfaces of representative berries at close range. The small, dry picking scars and the five-printed star formed by the calyx lobes on some of the berries are visible.
DESCRIPTION OF THE NEW CULTIVAR
The following detailed description sets forth the distinctive characteristics of ‘Farthing’. The data which define these characteristics were collected from asexual reproductions carried out in Florida. The plant history was taken on 4- and one-half year-old plants. The following descriptions relate to plants grown in the field in north Florida (Windsor, Fla.). Color designations are from “The Pantone Book of Color” (by Leatrice Eiseman and Lawrence Herbert; Harry N. Abrams, Inc., Publishers, New York, 1990). Where the Pantone color designations differ from the colors in the Drawings, the Pantone colors are accurate.

      • Fragrance.—Little or none.
      • Shape.—Urceolate.

  • Reproductive Organs:
      • Style length (top of ovary to stigma tip).—0.8 cm to 0.9 cm.
      • Location of tip of stigma relative to lip of the corolla.—Stigma tip is about even with the outer edge of the corolla tube.

      • Width of well-developed dried seed.—0.12 cm.
  • Resistance to Diseases, Insects and Mites: ‘Farthing’ has grown vigorously and shows good bush survival in the field. ‘Farthing’ appears to have above-average resistance to root rot (Phytophthora cinnamomi) and stem blight (Botryosphaeria dothidia). ‘Farthing’ has shown no signs of cane canker (Botryosphaeria corticis) susceptibility in the field. The fungal leaf spots that are common on highbush blueberries grown in Florida are easily controlled by approved fungicides. In the absence of fungicide applications, ‘Farthing’ leaves appear to have better leaf-spot resistance than most other Florida southern highbush blueberry cultivars.
COMPARISON WITH PARENTAL AND KNOWN CULTIVARS
‘Farthing’ differs from the proprietary female (seed) parent ‘FL 96-27’ (unpatented) in that ‘Farthing’ has a larger berry and higher anthocyanin development as manifested by the usually black (as opposed to red) skin color beneath the epicuticular wax of the ripe berry than ‘FL 96-27’. Additionally, ‘Farthing’ produces new leaves more prolifically shortly after flowering than ‘FL 96-27’.
‘Farthing’ differs from the male (pollen) parent ‘Windsor’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 12,783) in that ‘Farthing’ is somewhat lower in chilling requirements and flowers somewhat earlier than ‘Windsor’. Additionally, ‘Farthing’ has a small, dry scar, while ‘Windsor’ has a large scar that causes problems in packing and shipping.
‘Farthing’ differs from the commercial variety ‘Star’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 10,675), an important variety widely planted in Florida and Georgia for early-season blueberry production. ‘Farthing’ is more vigorous and has a higher yield potential than ‘Star’ and is resistant to cane canker disease (caused by Botryosphaeria corticis), to which ‘Star’ is susceptible.
‘Farthing’ differs from the commercial variety ‘Abundance’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,476) in that ‘Farthing’ has ovate leaves that are shorter (5.8 cm) and narrower (2.7 cm) than the oval leaves of ‘Abundance’ which are longer (6.6 cm) and wider (3.3 cm).
