Blueberry Planting & Harvesting Program
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.
