Blueberries bloom about the same time as strawberries and, as a rule, berries will ripen 60 to 80 days after bloom. Each cultivar will normally supply fresh fruit for a two- to three-week period. Plant at least two cultivars to assure cross pollination. Group cultivars by ripening dates so that harvest will progress in an orderly fashion. For example, Duke and Spartan are good early season cultivars. Ozarkblue, Sierra, Toro, and Bluecrop are good midseason cultivars, while Nelson, Darrow, and Elliot are good late-season cultivars.
