Great timing Meer. My blueberries are at the end of harvest for this year. Mine need to be pruned and I've never ran across anyone being speicfic to blueberries or summer pruning. Got this saved for later reference.
I haven't watched the whole video yet, but this is excellent information.
I have been wanting to plant some blueberries in my yard. I have looked at them on Stark's a few times and am really glad I did not get them yet, because they would not have done well in my yard. I was holding off because of all the other projects I have had going on.
The idea that blueberries do better in raised beds or half wine barrels is something I would not have thought of.
I did see somewhere this year that it is better to have more than one variety of blueberry.
Another thing I saw was that if and when you have different varieties, you can have blueberries from different bushes, spread throughout the season.The reason for growing multiple types is for pollination purposes. If you look at the Stark links on types, almost all of them say grows best with _____ type. That holds true with many fruits.

That is true as well. Mine start producing in mid-late June. I picked my last berries last week. So what 6 weeks. Some perform longer than others as well. Some I'll pick 3-4 weeks, others only a week or so.
Berry flavor and size vary as well
