Abstract

The new blueberry plant variety ‘FCM12-038’ is provided. The new blueberry plant originated from a cross of ‘FF03-158’ (female parent, unpatented) by ‘FL01-06’ (pollen parent, unpatented). ‘FCM12-038’ is a commercial variety intended for the hand harvest fresh market. The variety has medium vigor, ripens very early and produces a large berry with good firmness, and a small picking scar on fruit derived from the current season's growth. ‘FCM12-038’ was selected for use in an evergreen production system in areas where zero effective chilling hours may be accumulated.
