    Tony:

    Don't have any idea what that would be except to guess something like Emerald. But getting anything to produce this time of yr in Mexico seems like a difficult trick. Not sure how you would do that. Southern hemisphere I could understand.

    Tony,
    I checked on Driscoll's website and there is a page where a 16 digit code can be entered from the container to give information about the farm where they were grown.I'm not sure how specific the info will be though. Brady

    Here is a link that might be useful: Driscoll's

    Tony...try what Brady says about entering the code. I did that same thing once with peaches from California and it came up with the variety. It wasn't from Driscoll's, but in that case it did indeed give the variety. I think I entered the number from the sticker on the fruit itself.

    the code is 6345 4623 4587 DS18, but I could not get it to search.

    Tony,
    I was able to get it to work.I tried to do a link to the page,but it didn't stay current.Just type in four numbers at a time and use their scroll to go to DS18 and that should do it.
    There is a patented variety called Driscoll Rockinoee,that only they grow.I'm not sure if that's your berry.
    It looks like there are only two growers in central Mexico that supply them with Blueberries. Brady

    Google search brought the results of the following blueberry cultivars Driscoll patented:
    DRISBLUEONE, DRISBLUETWO, DRISBLUETHREE, DRISBLUEFOUR, DRISBLUESIX, DRISBLUEEIGHT, DRISBLUENINE, DRISBLUETEN, and DRISBLUEELEVEN.

    Driscoll Rockinoee is the trademark name for its DRISBLUEONE patented variety.

    Driscoll's trademark name for other blueberries resulted as Stela Blue, Cielo, Violeta, Wicked Felina, and Sjulin.

    None of these varieties probably will ever be for sale for home gardener like you and me anyway.

    Well you could try growing some from seed. You may not get exactly the same plant, but you will have a unique cultivar!
