Fruit & Orchards

blueberry question

11 years ago

Hi guys. I recently bought two blueberry plants: Aurora and Liberty. Would one or both of these produce berries that would taste good picked right off the plant, or is one or both of these more meant for use in making jams, pies, etc.?

Ideally I'd like to use them for just fresh berries with cereal, yogurt, etc.

Tx!!

I think all Blueberries should taste good fresh.They differ in flavor,some are sweeter,others mild or tart.It's best to leave them on the bush and ripen.Aurora is supposed to be the latest ripening variety right now. Brady
