Abstract

‘Calypso’ is a new blueberry cultivar of primarily Vaccinium corymbosum . The rest of its parentage is from V. darrowii (13.3%), V. angustifolium (3.8%), V. tenellum (<1%), and V. ashei (<1%). It is a highly productive cultivar with excellent fresh fruit quality. Plants of ‘Calypso’ are vigorous and upright. Its canes are numerous and moderately branched, and the fruit are well exposed. Its berries are large, have small, dry picking scars, medium light blue color, and excellent firmness and flavor. In general, the fruit of ‘Calypso’ has held extremely well on the bush after ripening, except in the unusually hot summers of 2012 in Michigan and Oregon. In that year it was softer than normal, performing similar to ‘Liberty’ under hot conditions.
