Each week we have the opportunity to check out the MSU Extension News for Agriculture page. We are very blessed to have Carlos Garcia-Salazar as our extension agent for our area. Carlos has a true heart for all growers and works very hard to keep us updated in the blueberry industry. This week he is updating us on the bloom of the various varieties of blueberries. The Bluecrop (my personal favorite) is now in full bloom. We are about 1 to 2 weeks behind normal but still doing well. Some fields import bees for pollination however we do not. We have found that blueberries are self pollinating and if we do a foliar spray of phosphors this will enhance the smell of the blossoms and this naturally invites the bees into our field. When you drive up to the field and get out of your vehicle you can smell the blossoms in the air there is nothing like it if you ask me.
Until next time have a Berry Nice Day.
