‘Ochlockonee’ Blueberries were developed by D. Scott NeSmith of the University of Georgia, ‘Ochlockonee’ was a joint 2002 release by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Agricultural Research Service.  The Berries are medium- to large-size, high quality and comparable to the Tifblue Blueberry, a popular cultivar in the South.  Berries ripen about one week after Tifblue and are larger in size. Other important fruit characters (stem scar, color, firmness, and flavor) of ‘Ochlockonee’ are good, being similar to Tifblue and Powder Blue.
