Abstract

'Camellia' is a new southern highbush blueberry ( Vacciniumhybrid) jointly released by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, the University of Georgia Agricultural Experiment Station, and the United States Department of Agriculture - Agricultural Research Service. 'Camellia' is an early-to midseason southern highbush blueberry, having highly desirable fruit attributes, including very light blue color and large berry size. The new cultivar has an estimated chill-hour requirement (hours at < 7 °C) of 450 to 500 hours based on comparisons of multi-year bloom dates with the standard southern highbush cultivars 'Star' and 'O'Neal'. Plants are highly vigorous, with strong cane growth and an open, upright bush habit and a narrow crown.
