OBG-Raptor (OBG 16252)

Introduced by Oregon Blueberry, OBG-Raptor is a new, innovative Rabbiteye variety designed for growers seeking exceptional productivity and fruit quality. In 2025 field trials, OBG-Raptor consistently delivered impressive yields, averaging 37 pounds per plant. This variety 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. Its machine-harvest suitability and consistent post-harvest quality make OBG-Raptor an outstanding option for commercial growers targeting both the fresh and processed markets.
