Question:

I just planted some blueberries. When can I expect them to produce a crop?

Answer:

Blueberry plants should not be allowed to bear fruit in the first 2 years.  Any blossoms which form should be removed (rubbed off).  Removal of the flowers will maximize vegetative growth and increase yields in later years.  Blueberry plants should come into full production by the fifth or sixth year.
