Default Re: Oil and Water.(Conventional vs. Organic)

I have 17 varieties of blueberries, some that produce as early as late april to as late as late July. Variety has a lot to do with flavor, but another major factor is timing--they get sweeter and sweeter after they turn and are best just before they start to shrivle. Climate can also influence taste--a moderately dry season will produce the best flavor--a really wet season will cause splitting if they are left on after they ripen. Love my blueberries--my favorite fruit!

BTW Mario, UF has developed some very low chill blueberries that might grow in your area, but I am sure you would have to lower the pH of your soil--they like pH 4.5-5.
