Well... I don't know if we'll have enough blueberries this year to do much with them, but they are doing well so far. We were told from the nursery that we purchased them from that within 2-3 years we should be able to pick about 5-7 pounds per bush. We have eight so if we do the math on the low end we should end up with 40 pounds of berries. They also said this year we should get close to two pounds per bush. These are North Blue variety developed by the University of Minnesota about ten years ago. They specifically were developed for colder climates with the idea of a larger berry in mind. When we planted them we had to amend the soil in order to get the PH proper. I purchased an organic blueberry additive to make the soil more acidic. Blueberries as we've read are not easy to grow so we hope all goes well. So far lots of new branch and leaf growth and plenty of healthy looking blueberries. If you click on the photos you'll get a better up close look. Good Day!
