Hi
So I have 20 or so blue berrry bushes that are fairly young and we are able to freeze some of the blueberries we harvest. the problem is they are done in early August. We do have 6 or so of the traditional varieties. Does anyone know of a late/very late variety that would grow in my area?

thanks Frank

I don't know northern varieties, but I have blueberries that produce as early as April and as late as August down here--I'm sure there are varieties that will produce into Sept in your area. You might search Maine Ag sites--or Michigan they both grow Northern blueberries.

Aurora is a patented release from Michagan State that is the latest ripening Highbush that I know of along with Elliott. If you could grow Rabbiteyes up there then they would ripen later than your highbush plants but I don't think they are hardy enough. You could always try a few plants though.
