A Six-Year-Old Rubel Bush Carrying About 
Six Quarts of Blueberries 
Yields and Markets 
It requires from 8 to 10 years for the highbush 
blueberry to reach full bearing. Average yiel4s 
will vary with the soil and other factors. How¬ 
ever, yields of 2,500 to 3,500 quarts per acre 
should be received from mature plantations on 
good sites. 
At present there is a strong demand for blue¬ 
berries of the improved varieties at prices ranging 
from 25 to 60 cents per quart. This demand with 
very good prices should continue for quite a num¬ 
ber of years. As supplies become larger, canning 
factories and pie manufacturers offer outlets for 
very large quantities, especially of the smaller 
sized berries. The market outlook for cultivated 
blueberries is excellent.
