Blueberries were first planted in commercial orchards in northwest Florida. Most of the plantings were made between 1890 and 1920 with rabbiteye blueberry bushes ( Vaccinium ashei) dug from the wild. By 1920 blueberry plantations covered more than 2000 acres in North Florida (1). The rabbiteye blueberry is highly variable, and because bushes were often transplanted without selection for berry quality, fruits from resulting orchards were highly variable in size, color, and flavor.
