Description
Released by the University of Florida in 2010, Meadowlark™ ‘FL01-173’ blueberries have excellent fruit firmness and machine harvest characteristics. The Meadowlark™ ‘FL01-173’ blueberry is an extremely upright bush and may topple from ice accumulation during frost protection, and it appears to be sensitive to some diseases such as Xylella, ‘Funky Spot’ virus, and blueberry red ringspot (BRRSV). We recommended the Meadowlark™ ‘FL01-173’ blueberry for commercial trial in low chill growing areas.

Note: The plant is shipped in its pot, firmly secured with several layers of clear tape, thereby avoiding any shuffling and moving during transit. The plant reaches you with minimal damage- very safe and secure. We have been shipping plants like this for several years (plant are sometimes shipped in smaller pots for safety and ease of shipping). Most plants go dormant in fall and winter and will lose most of their leaves - looking dead and dry - very normal. They will flush out in spring.
We cannot send ship some plants and some sizes to California due to restrictions placed by department of agriculture.
