Firmness is an important fruit quality trait in northern highbush blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum ) and contributes to machine harvestability, postharvest quality, shelf life, and the consumer eating experience. Fruit firmness, particularly

Many fruit trees require cross-pollination to reach their full yield potential. In highbush blueberries ( Vaccinium corymbosum L. and its hybrids), optimal pollination by genotype combination results in higher fruit set, larger berries, and earlier
