Farmers' Inb In Blueberry Blueberries ? native to North* America ? ?re on the move as a cultivated fruit crop. And that'i of special importance to North Carolina ? which ranks third In U.S. commercial blueberry pro duction acreage. New Jersey and Michigan rank first and second, respectively. Blueberries have been produced for quite a few years in Carteret In the Beaufort area. The Stella section now has blueberry acreage. Twenty-eight acres have been planted by John Young, Stella, and other farmers are showing in terest in the crop. In 19S5, an estimated 12,500 acres of cultivated blueberries yielded an estimated $11 million, marketed fresh, canned and frozen. However, the total value of blueberries in the U.S. is much greater when you add the wild blueberries har vested. Melvlo H. Kolbe, horticultural specialist for the N.C. Agricultural Extension Service, says that se lectiwi and breeding of superior varieties are enabling growers to put a better product on the mar ket. Hybrids arc being developed from some of the large fruit va rietiea and some of the drought resistant species which may prove useful in erosion control. Since different spccies vary in their climatic requirements, it's possible to grow blueberries from Main to Florida. A common char acteristic of all blueberry varie ties, however, fs their need for an acid soil. Also, even though some varieties are native to swamp and moist lands, cultivated fields should be well-drained. North Carolina's main plantings are in the coastal area, with a few being planted in the moun tains. The size of blueberry yields va ries. A single mature plant usually bears six to eight pints. On good soils in Michigan, yields from the second to the sixth year usually increase from 50 to e.OOO pints per acre. Yields as high as 9,900 pints per acre have been known.
