Abstract
Abstract ‘Duke’ highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) is a new cultivar originating from the cooperative blueberry breeding program of the USDA and the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station. It is a productive, early ripening cultivar with fruit that has the shipping qualities needed for commercial fresh market use. ‘Duke’ is intended for commercial growers and packers in areas where high-chilling highbush blueberries are grown successfully. ‘Duke’ is named in honor of S. Arthur (Duke) Galletta, to recognize his many significant and meaningful contributions, and those of his Atlantic Blueberry Company partners and their staff, in continuous support of the blueberry breeding work since 1949.
