example, the diploid species Vaccinium elliottii (2 n = 2 x = 24) is being used to introduce disease resistant, early flowering, and adaptation to dry upland soils ( Dweikat and Lyrene 1991 ) and as result, three SHB cultivars Carteret, Snowchaser, and

. elliottii has been used to a limited extent in blueberry breeding programs in North Carolina and Florida. The intent has been to obtain cultivars that incorporate the ability of V. elliottii to grow on drought-prone upland soils that have low organic

native to the southeastern United States. It grows in calcareous, sandy or sandy clay upland soils and tolerates soil pH up to 6.5, low organic matter ( Lyrene, 1997 ), low Fe availability, and nitrogen in the form of nitrate (NO 3 − ) ( Darnell and Hiss

upland soil series was located on Ruston, Norfolk, Tifton, Orangeburg, Greenville, Red Bay, and Cecil soils. About 66% and 60% of the soils surveyed in 2005 and 2008, respectively, were among these soil groups ( Tables 1 and 2 ). Soil pH averaged 5
