Blueberry plant called ‘Springwide’

Abstract

A new and distinct low-chill blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum ) cultivar. Its novelty lies in the following unique combination of features: 1. Has a very low chilling requirement of about 200 hours below 7° C. 2. Produces a large berry with medium blue color and good scar, firmness, and flavor. 3. Ripens early, with first commercial harvest about April 5 at Sebring Fla. and April 15 at Windsor, Fla. 4. Has a bush of medium vigor that is midway between spreading and upright.

1. A new and distinct southern highbush blueberry plant, substantially as illustrated and described, characterized by having a durable, low-chill bush that produces large, high-quality berries that ripen in late April and early May in northeast Florida.
