Blueberry Planting & Harvesting Program

Johnny's Fruit Harvest Programs


Season Extension by Variety Selection

Johnny's Blueberry Planting/Harvesting Program is designed to take the guesswork out of variety selection, allowing you to extend your blueberry harvest across the growing season. Take note that actual ripening times will vary depending upon your latitude/geolocation, microclimate, cultivation practices, and year-to-year climate variation, among other factors.
