A new blueberry variety has been released by The University of Georgia and is being named in honor of one of UGA’s blueberry pioneers and recent retirees. ‘Krewer™’, named after Dr. Gerard Krewer, is a very large fruited blueberry that ripens in late May to early June in south Georgia. The new variety has shown high yield potential in early experimental trials, and offers a great companion variety for the recently released large fruited ‘Titan™’. ‘Krewer™’ is suitable for commercial production, pick-­‐your-­‐own operations, and home gardens.

The Carroll County Young Farmers will have plants available for pickup from December 2 – December 9 at the Carroll County Agriculture Center, 900 Newnan Rd., Carrollton, GA.

We kindly ask that all plants be picked up during this time frame. Any plants not picked up by December 9 will be donated to local FFA chapters. This is due to the need to prepare the Agriculture Center for other scheduled activities and to reduce the risk of theft from prolonged storage.

Thank you for your understanding and for supporting agriculture in our community!
