Blueberry (Vaccinium virgatum) 'Premier'

Reliable early Rabbiteye variety with large fruits and excellent flavor.

'Premier' is a highly valued variety from North Carolina State University, released in 1978. It was bred as a reliable and productive variety that excels not only in fruit quality but also in its role in the orchard – it is considered one of the best universal pollinators for early and mid-early varieties (especially for 'Climax'). It offers large, firm fruits with one of the best flavors among Rabbiteye varieties.

Key Highlights:

  • Excellent taste: One of the tastiest Rabbiteye varieties, sweet and balanced.
  • Large and firm fruits: Suitable for storage and transport.
  • Excellent pollinator: Ideal partner for 'Climax' and other early varieties.
  • High productivity: Strong, healthy growth and abundant harvest.
  • Reliable variety with no significant weaknesses.

Origin and Registration

  • Origin: USA (North Carolina State University). Released in 1978.
  • Genetics: Cross of 'Tifblue' x 'Homebell'.
