Planting fruit in the backyard can be an uphill task - however, time is an issue. Backyard bushes are in their Blueberry Season and are at their best flavor, freshness, and most nutritional value and in many ways beat the store-bought berries in taste and size. According to home growers, their berries, which have been stripped at their optimal ripening, last longer when refrigerated as well. When you prune and take care at the right time before the Blueberry Season you can hopefully have bountiful harvests worth the toil.
