You ought to have seen what I saw on my way
To the village, through Mortenson’s pasture to-day:
Blueberries as big as the end of your thumb,
Real sky-blue, and heavy, and ready to drum
In the cavernous pail of the first one to come!
And all ripe together, not some of them green
And some of them ripe! You ought to have seen!
Blueberries grow typically in humid, northern climates with winter chills, mild summers and low-pH or acidic soils.
Most of the world-wide 552 505 tons of blueberries were harvested in North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico), followed by Europe, there mostly Poland, Germany and France.
