Fine flavored fruit that pop when you bite into them. Good fall foliage.

Neutral Farmerdill On May 31, 2004, Farmerdill from Augusta, GA (Zone 8a) wrote:

A 1990 North Carolina release, Reveille has an approximate chilling requirement of about 600-800 hours. The fruit are medium sized and light blue in color. Plants are fairly vigorous and productive with a very narrowly-upright bush habit. The plant is suceptible to root rot so good drainage is essential.
