Abstract

Abstract Earlier ripening cultivars of blueberry ( Vaccinium corymbosum L.) usually produced more vegetative growth flushes than later ripening cultivars. Multiple flower buds were found most frequently on thick wood regardless of cultivar. Most distal buds on any flush were flower buds, while proximal buds were usually vegetative.
