Abstract
‘Bounty’ is a stem blight-tolerant and cane canker-resistant early-midseason to midseason cultivar of highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) ripening at about the same time as ‘Murphy’. It has been a consistent producer of very large fruit, with above-average flavor and excellent color, stem scar, and firmness. ‘Bounty’ flavor does not deteriorate rapidly, as is typical with standard highbush blueberries in eastern North Carolina. The name reflects the abundant crops of very large high-quality fruit produced by this cultivar. Released cooperatively by the North Carolina Agricultural Research Service and the USDA. ‘Bounty’ is intended for fancy fresh fruit production in areas subject to cane canker [Botryosphaeria corticis (Demaree & Wilcox) Arx and Muller] and stem blight [Botryosphaeria dothidea (Mouq. ex Fr.) Ces. & de Not.].
