Three:
Harvest Season & Blueberry Varieties
 Highbush
blueberry season in Missouri starts around June 15, although this can
vary by up to seven days in a given year. The blueberry varieties
we grow here in the state can be broken into three groups, based upon
their ripening sequence: early-season varieties such as Collins
and Duke; mid-season varieties such as Bluecrop and Blueray; and
late-season varieties such as Lateblue, Colville and Elliott. By
choosing several different varieties a blueberry grower can harvest
fruit for four to six weeks.
