Benefits of technology

[0009]‘HX’ was asexually propagated in a cultivated area of Earleton, Fla. in 1973 utilizing soft wood cuttings. The plants so propagated have shown that the unique features of this new Vaccinium plant are stable and reproduced true to type in successive generations of asexual reproduction.

Problems solved by technology

The fruit is suitable for fresh markets, but cannot be stored for long periods of time.
