Blueberry plant named ‘FCM12-131’

Abstract

The new blueberry plant variety ‘FCM12-131’ is provided. ‘FCM12-131’ is a commercial variety intended for the hand harvest fresh market. The variety is produced from a cross of ‘ZF04-002’ and ‘FL95-138’. The new blueberry plant ‘FCM12-131’ as it grows in Tala, Mexico is distinguished by a dense, round growth habit, moderate vigor, closely spaced internodes, brightly colored salmon or orange new leaves, mature leaves that are glaucous, corollas that tend to be narrow and cylindrical or slightly urceolate in form, intense flowering and fruiting following pruning, and large fruit with a light blue color that is globose or slightly oblate in shape. The new blueberry plant ‘FCM12-131’ consistently produces larger fruit than the standard variety ‘Biloxi’, which is a very desirable characteristic.

The invention claimed is: 
     
       1. A new and distinct variety of blueberry plant named ‘FCM12-131’ substantially as illustrated and described herein.
