Abstract

The variety ‘T-959’ ripens around the first week of June in southern Georgia. The fruits of the new ‘T-959’ variety are very large, firm, and have good flavor. The new ‘T-959’ variety is vigorous with an estimated chilling requirement of about 500 to 550 hours at or below approximately 7° C. The new variety is reliably propagated vegetatively.

Description

STATEMENT REGARDING FEDERALLY-SPONSORED RESEARCH
This invention was made, in part, with U.S. Government support on behalf of U.S. Department of Agriculture, Hatch Act Grant No. GEO 01663. The U.S. Government has certain rights in this invention.
Latin name of the genus and species of the plant claimed: ‘T-959’ is a Vaccinium ashei rabbiteye blueberry plant.
Variety denomination: The new rabbiteye blueberry plant claimed is a new variety denominated ‘T-959’.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the discovery of a new and distinct cultivar of rabbiteye blueberry plant, herein referred to as ‘T-959’, as herein described and illustrated.
The new blueberry plant variety ‘T-959’ was selected in Griffin, Ga. in 2005. The new variety ‘T-959’ ripens around the first week of June in southern Georgia. The fruit of the new variety ‘T-959’ are large and have good flavor. The new variety ‘T-959’ is vigorous with an estimated chilling requirement of about 500-550 hours at or below approximately 7° C.
Pedigree and history: ‘T-959’ was selected in 2005 in Griffin, Ga., originating from a cross of ‘T-460’בFL 80-11’ made by Dr. Scott NeSmith in 2002. The two parents are non-patented blueberry breeder selections that have not been produced commercially. The selection has been tested in plantings at Alapaha and Griffin, Ga. established in the Fall of 2006.
The new blueberry plant variety ‘T-959’ has been shown to maintain its distinguishing characteristics through successive asexual propagations by softwood cuttings in Alapaha and Griffith, Ga. Plants from softwood cuttings have been directly planted in the ground.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The new blueberry plant variety ‘T-959’ has not been observed under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary somewhat with variations in environment and cultural practices such as temperature and light intensity without, however, any variance in genotype.
The following traits of the new ‘T-959’ variety have been repeatedly observed in Alapaha and Griffin Ga., and have been determined to be the unique combination characteristics of the new rabbiteye blueberry plant variety ‘T-959’:
    • 1. Very large berry size;
    • 2. Excellent plant vigor;
    • 3. Excellent fruit firmness.
The new variety ‘T-959’ can be compared to the rabbiteye blueberry varieties ‘Alapaha’ (the subject of U.S. Plant Pat. No. 16,266), ‘Vernon’ (the subject of U.S. Plant Pat. No. 18,291), ‘Premier’, and ‘Brightwell’ (both non-patented commercial blueberry varieties).
Comparison: The ‘T-959’ variety has berries that ripen around the time of the early rabbiteye varieties ‘Alapaha’, ‘Vernon’ and ‘Premier’, but before the mid-season variety ‘Brightwell’. ‘T-959’ has very large, firm berries, and the plant has a high degree of plant vigor as compared over a three year time period to the other varieties grown in Griffin and Alapaha, Ga. (Tables 1 and 2). Table 3 depicts berry weight for ‘T-959’ and comparison cultivars from both Griffin and Alapaha locations for the first 25% of ripe fruit. In each of the sets from the site/years, ‘T-959’ has had much greater average berry weight than all of the other compared cultivars. ‘Alapaha’ was released in 2001, as a new early season variety with consistent cropping, and was followed by ‘Vernon’ in 2004 for an early season companion variety with larger berry size to compete with the much older standard ‘Premier’. ‘T-959’ is superior to each of these with respect to berry size. ‘T-959’ has much larger berries than the popular early-mid season older variety ‘Brightwell’. While yield data is limited, Table 4 depicts total yield per plant taken from three single plant replicates via hand harvesting in selection test plots at Alapaha in 2009 and 2010, and in Griffin in 2010. These data support that ‘T-959’ is a high yielding plant, primarily due to the large berry size. The total yield of 23.1 lbs per plant for ‘T-959’ from Alapaha in 2010 is the largest yield that the inventor has ever recorded for 4 year old plants. In addition to large berry size, ‘T-959’ berries also demonstrate excellent firmness (Table 5). ‘Brightwell’ is considered the standard for firmness in the industry, which makes it useful for machine harvesting and long distant shipping. ‘T-959’ had equal or greater firmness than ‘Brightwell’ (as measured with a specialized laboratory instrument called a FirmTech 2) in each of 3 years in Griffin. The ‘T-959’ variety also had greater firmness than ‘Alapaha’, ‘Vernon’, and ‘Premier’.
In comparison to its ‘T-460’ parent, ‘T-959’ has much larger berries (‘T-460’ avg 1.8 to 2.4 g vs 3.0 to 4.0 g for ‘T-959’), ‘T-959’ has greater plant vigor, and ‘T-959’ ripens 6 to 9 days earlier than ‘T-460’.
In comparison to its ‘FL 80-11’ parent, ‘T-959’ has much larger berries (‘FL-80-11’ avg is 2.0 to 2.5 g vs 3.0 to 4.0 g for ‘T-959’), and ‘T-959’ flowers some 5 to 8 days later than ‘FL-80-11’, while ripening at a similar time.
