Definitions
- Genus and species Vaccinium corymbosum L.
- the invention relates to a new and distinct blueberry variety designated ‘DrisBlueEight’ and botanically known as Vaccinium corymbosum L.
- This new blueberry variety was discovered in Santa Cruz, Calif. in June 2000 and originated from a cross between the proprietary female parent blueberry plant ‘MS315’ (unpatented) and the proprietary male parent blueberry plant ‘MS122’ (unpatented).
- the original seedling of the new variety was first asexually propagated at a nursery in Monterey, Calif. via softwood cuttings.
- ‘DrisBlueEight’ was subsequently asexually propagated and underwent further testing at a nursery in Santa Cruz, Calif. for thirteen years.
- the present invention has been found to be stable and reproduce true to type through successive asexual propagations via softwood cuttings.
- This new blueberry plant is illustrated by the accompanying photographs which show fruit of the plant as well as the flowers and leaves. The colors shown are as true as can be reasonably obtained by conventional photographic procedures. The photographs are of plants that are 12 years old.
- FIG. 1 shows a close-up of the mature flowers.
- FIG. 2 shows a close-up of the leaves.
- FIG. 3 shows a close-up of the whole fruit and a cross-section of the fruit.
- ‘DrisBlueEight’ differs from parental variety ‘MS315’ (unpatented) in that ‘DrisBlueEight’ has a very low chilling requirement, whereas ‘MS315’ has a medium chilling requirement.
- ‘DrisBlueEight’ differs from parental variety ‘MS122’ (unpatented) in that ‘DrisBlueEight’ has a very low chilling requirement, whereas ‘MS 122’ has a medium chilling requirement.
- ‘DrisBlueEight’ differs from the commercial variety ‘DrisBlueOne’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,449) in that ‘DrisBlueEight’ has berries with high sweetness, an early time of vegetative bud burst, and leaves with an acute to cuspidate apex and an obtuse base, whereas ‘DrisBlueOne’ has berries with medium sweetness, a medium time of vegetative bud burst, and leaves with a broadly acute apex and broadly acute to rounded base. Additionally, ‘DrisBlueEight’ has a very low chilling requirement, whereas ‘DrisBlueOne’ has a medium chilling requirement.
- ‘DrisBlueEight’ differs from the commercial variety ‘DrisBlueTwo’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 20,488), in that ‘DrisBlueEight’ has leaves with an entire margin, oblate shaped berries, and a high amount of pollen, whereas ‘DrisBlueTwo’ has leaves with serrulate margin, nearly spherical shaped berries and a sparse amount of pollen. Additionally, ‘DrisBlueEight’ has a very low chilling requirement, whereas ‘DrisBlueTwo’ has a medium chilling requirement.
