Abstract: A southern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) variety particularly distinguished by a low chilling requirement, very upright growth habit, vigorous early-spring leafing, early ripening (50% ripe berries in north Florida around April 24), very open berry cluster; and berries that are large and firm, somewhat darker in color, have good flavor, texture, and keeping quality, and have a small, dry picking scar.
Abstract: A southern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum) variety particularly distinguished by having a low chilling requirement, especially for the flower buds, a vigorous, upright bush, light-blue berries with a small, dry picking scar, high firmness, and good flavor, and a very loose berry cluster.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of strawberry (Fragaria×ananassa), which originated from seed produced by a hand-pollinated cross between FL 93-103 and FL 95-316. The new strawberry, named ‘Winter Dawn’, is distinguished by high November through February production of fruit that are medium to large in size and moderately resistant to Botrytis and anthracnose fruit rot diseases when grown in Dover, Fla. or other areas that have a subtropical climate similar to that of Dover.
Abstract: A new Eucalyptus grandis tree particularly distinguished by having a fast growth rate, good frost tolerance, and good coppicing properties, is disclosed.

Abstract: ‘UF0646’ is a new coleus plant distinguished by having excellent red-magenta color in both sunny and shady locations. It appears more rose-red under high light intensities, and has exceptional branching and growth habit, and good sun and heat tolerance. It has desirable characteristics that allow it to retain its leaves in the garden landscape for an extended period of time during the normal growth season compared to most coleus varieties. It is an excellent variety for commercial production due to excellent adventitious rooting characteristics of vegetative propagules (cuttings), and subsequent vigorous growth in greenhouse conditions. ‘UF0646’ has proven to be an excellent performing variety in preliminary outdoor trials across the United States, and should be an excellent choice to add vibrant long lasting annual red color to gardens across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Abstract: ‘UF06419’ is a new coleus plant distinguished by foliage having bright red-orange centers with a yellow border along the leaf margins. It has a vigorous growth and branching habit, and good sun and heat tolerance.

It is an excellent variety for commercial production due to excellent adventitious rooting characteristics of vegetative propagules (cuttings), and subsequent vigorous growth in greenhouse conditions. ‘UF06419’ has proven to be an excellent performing variety in preliminary outdoor trials across the United States, and should be an excellent choice to add vibrant long lasting annual color to gardens across the United States, Canada, and Europe.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of peach tree, denominated ‘UF ONE’, has a low winter chilling requirement estimated at 150 chill units (cu). The tree is of medium size, has a moderate vigorous and semi-spreading growth habit. It has showy, pink flowers, and leaves with globose glands. Trees of ‘UF ONE’ are self-fertile and regularly bear heavy annual crops of early season fruit that are large for its ripening season. Fruit are uniformly firm and yellow with non-melting, clingstone flesh. Fruit are slightly oval, and uniform with substantially symmetrical shape, and have an attractive 40% bright red skin. The fruit of ‘UF ONE’ blooms about 3 days before and ripens about 8 days after ‘UFBeauty’ peach after the first week in May at Gainesville, Fla.
Abstract: A southern highbush blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum L.) variety particularly distinguished by a very low chilling requirement (200 hours below 7° C.) with prolific early-spring leafing, a vigorous bush, a very early ripening (50% ripe berries in north Florida about April 21), and berries that are firm, sweet, and aromatic in flavor.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of peach tree, denominated ‘UFGlo’, characterized by a winter chilling requirement estimated at 400 chill units (cu). The tree is medium size, moderately vigorous, and semi-spreading in growth habit. It bears showy, pink flowers, and leaves with reniform glands. Trees of ‘UFGlo’ are self-fertile and regularly bear heavy annual crops of early season fruit that are medium size (125g) for its ripening season. Fruit are uniformly firm with non-melting white flesh. Fruit are nearly round, and uniform with substantially symmetrical shape, and have an attractive 70 to 80% red skin. The fruit of ‘UFGlo’ usually ripen 10 to 14 days before ‘UFSharp’ peach in mid-May at Gainesville, Fla.
Abstract: A new Caladium plant named ‘UF331’ particularly distinguished by its lance leaves with large dark green veins and white to red-purple interveinal areas, and demonstrated potential to produce attractive and sun-tolerant plants in outdoor sunny landscapes, and produce attractive pot plants when tubers are forced in containers, is disclosed.
Abstract: A new and distinct variety of peach tree, denominated ‘UFSharp’, has a low winter chilling requirement estimated at 325 chill units (cu). The tree is of medium size, has a moderate vigorous and upright growth habit. It has showy, pink flowers, and leaves with globose glands. Trees of ‘UFSharp’ are self-fertile and regularly bear heavy annual crops of early, mid-season fruit that are large for its ripening season. Fruit are uniformly firm and yellow with non-melting flesh which are clingstone. Fruit are oval, and uniform with substantially symmetrical shape, and have an attractive 50 to 70% bright red skin. The fruit of ‘UFSharp’ ripens about 6 days after ‘UF2000’ peach in late May at Gainesville, Fla.
Abstract: A new and distinct cultivar of blueberry (Vaccinium hybrid) plant named ‘C97-41’, characterized by its bushy plant shape and strong plant growth vigor, evergreen foliage with early to medium timing of vegetative bud burst, early timing of flowering and early to medium timing of fruiting, large berry size with oblate shape, medium to firm fruit suited to handling, attractive dark blue fruit color and small picking scar, medium berry sweetness with weak to medium acidity. This combination results in higher quality fruit with a later availability than other varieties.
