Blueberry Yields
Wild blueberry yields depend on several factors.
They are reduced if the the ripening berries get insufficient water in summer to swell properly.
Winter damage, both in the nonbearing year and to the fruit-bearing plants in the second year of the cycle, happens quite often if there are low temperatures and a high windchill when plants are unprotected by a good snow cover.
Late spring frosts are also lethal to buds that have broken dormancy and started to develop.
Competition from weeds used to be problem but it has largely been eliminated through herbicide use.
Weeds can, however, still affect yields on plots that do not use chemicals and here owners fail to remove weeds manually.
