‘Vernon’ is an early season Rabbiteye blueberry with favorable fruit attributes, large berry size, high yields, and excellent plant vigor. Although plants of the cultivar ‘Vernon’ often flower seven days after ‘Climax’ in southern Georgia, they can flower earlier than desired in some years when temperatures warm up quickly. However, ‘Vernon’ fruit ripens early for a Rabbiteye, usually several days ahead of ‘Climax’ and ‘Premier’.
Developed by D. Scott NeSmith of the University of Georgia, ‘Vernon’ is a joint 2004 release by the University of Georgia College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences and the U.S. Department of Agriculture/Agricultural Research Service.
