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. The fruit is large and uniform, averaging 18.2 mm, with firmness that meets today’s market standards and exceeds that of popular northern and southern highbush varieties. The fruit offers a satisfying crunch with nearly undetectable seeds, creating an eating experience that rivals northern varieties. 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.
