The UGA Blueberry Breeding Program has developed a new blueberry variety capable of producing fruit two to four times larger than average.
“People like big strawberries and big blackberries. Now they can get big blueberries,” said Scott Nesmith, the UGA College of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences researcher who bred the new variety.
The Titan variety often exceeds the diameter of a quarter and has proven to thrive across Georgia as well as the Southeastern US.
“Right now, most nurseries have waiting lists for Titan™ plants. That’s how popular it is,” Nesmith said. “They have more orders than they do plants.”
'Titan' is a patented variety and can only be propagated by licensed growers. For information on 'Titan' licensing and to obtain a list of licensed growers, contact UGARF's Technology Commercialization Office.
