We had a picker killed by a black bear here in Ontario in recent days. Geeze! Thats my biggest fear when Im out there! Always invite a berry picking partner who you know you can outrun.

We’ll say “patches” but never know how many berries a patch will produce. And there’s no way of knowing how many patches are out here. 1000’s? The difference between bushes and patches are.... Bushes are generally high bush blueberries. They look like tree almost. They get to about 8 feet tall. I think most commercial places have high bush. Patches are usually low bush variety. They don't get much over knee high. Around here they grow in almost field-like groups. They're mostly wild. Millions of trees die every year to print environmentalist publications

Never heard about high bush before. Cold as ice!

Florida blueberries hit the grocery stores in early feb, then they work their way north from different states. North Carolina and New Jersey produce a lot of blueberries but the largest producer of blueberries East of the Mississippi is Michigan. The container in the store usually has state of origin on it. lifetime member NTA, OSTA, GTA
