Abstract: Two instances of unusual performance have been observed in the test planting of highbush blueberries at the Virginia Agricultural Experiment Station during the last eight fruiting seasons. The varietal differences demonstrated in the planting with regard to this unusual behavior was so striking that a report on it seems in order. The unusual behavior of some varieties was characterized by profuse blossoming and heavy cropping but failure to produce the usual quality of leaves, or no leaf development at all. This phenomenon was first observed in the test planting at Blackburg in 1951 and again, though to a lesser degree, in 1959.
