An old cultivar, developed in the 1930s, and one of the finest cultivated blueberries with large berries, pushing 1 inch, that have a high desert quality. Harvesting starts mid to late season, lasts for approximately two weeks, and averages 8 pounds from established plants. Great to grow with early to midseason types for a longer harvest window. Grows over 5 feet. High bush cultivar. Zones 5-7.
