Raptor

Introduced by Oregon Blueberry, Raptor is a new rabbiteye variety designed for growers seeking exceptional productivity and fruit quality. With a chilling requirement of 500+ hours, this cultivar consistently delivers impressive yields, averaging 37 pounds per plant in 2025 field trials. Raptor produces large, firm berries averaging 18.2 mm in diameter , with a satisfying crunch and an eating experience that rivals northern varieties. The fruit features nearly undetectable seeds, excellent firmness, and uniform size and texture. Harvest typically occurs two weeks after Titan, concentrated over one to two pickings for efficient management. The variety’s machine-harvest suitability and consistent postharvest quality make it an outstanding option for commercial growers targeting both fresh and processed markets.
