Abstract

The new blueberry plant variety ‘FCM14-052’ is provided. ‘FCM14-052’ is a commercial variety intended for the hand harvest fresh market. The new blueberry plant originated from a cross of ‘FL01-06’ (female parent, not patented) by FL06-556 (pollen parent, U.S. Pat. No. 27,771). ‘FCM14-052’ selected because it flowered and fruited more than most genotypes in a low latitude, zero chill evergreen production system and had large fruit with a small picking scar. ‘FCM14-052’ also produces significant numbers of flower buds in a zero chill climate, resulting in a concentrated harvest window.
