How many pounds in a quart of blueberries?
I am researching this question too. I just bought a dry pint of blueberries and it has 12 oz. of blueberries by weight. This translates to 3/4 of a pund. Although, I thought a dry pint is supposed to have 2.33 cups by volume, when I measured it there was only 2 cups of blueberries. The package is labeled drypint. I don't know if it differs from those that are labeled with just pint. I am researching further. -Trent http:/blog.smartshopit.com My husband and I sell blueberries...we have a 2 acre patch. We sell by the pound and are constantly getting this question. You have a liquid pint measurement and dry pint measure...liquid only translates to 2 cups...dry pint, or 2 cups, translates to 12 ounces.....you definitely get more bang for your buck if you buy by the pound!! ~!Marilyn/njquilts

Why do your blueberry bushes have black tips and dying foliage?
It is a normal growth pattern. Blueberries first send up straight, unbranched green canes that turn woody as they age. The tips turn black and halt terminal growth. The next year these primary canes develop lateral branches, which will also die at the tips, and secondary branches will form. Lower buds develop when the tips stop growing and branching. New canes will continue to develop from the roots and repeat the pattern. If left unpruned, eventually the bush becomes twiggy with smaller berries. Fruit buds are formed at tips of branches on one-year-old wood and appear fatter than leaf buds. Tip pruning would destroy the fruit crop. - read about blueberry pruning on the web at your university extension service
