GA Blueberry

 

 

The Georgia blueberry industry is a dynamic enterprise of relatively recent development. The blueberry industry is concentrated in the flatwoods of southeast Georgia and ships fruit all over the world.

The development of the blueberry industry is an interesting story. Local fishermen in Brunswick and Toomsboro had collected some of the best wild berries from the Satilla and Withlachoochee rivers of south Georgia. These selections were crossed with selections from west Florida to create cultivars (cultivated varieties) of rabbiteye blueberries (Vaccinium ashei). Since 1944 the University of Georgia has maintained a blueberry breeding program and released twelve cultivars of rabbiteye blueberries. These cultivars have formed the basis for the Georgia blueberry industry.
