Growing Update
February 21,2012 Blueberries
- Our 5 varieties of pesticide-free blueberries (Climax,
Premier, Brightwell, Tifblue and Powerblue) are dormant right now collecting chill hours. However, with all this warm
winter weather we're having, the blossoms are starting to open. Hopefully, we won't have an Easter freeze this year as we
have had in the past.
Blackberries
- Our pesticide-free blackberry plants (Arapaho, Navaho, Apache, Ouachita, Natchez, Choctaw and Kiowa) are mostly
dormant right now collecting chill hours, but are also starting to wake up due to the warm winter weather we're having
this year. Muscadine - Our 8 varieties of pesticide-free muscadine and scuppernongs (Sugargate
(Black), Ison (Black), Black Beauty (Black), Pam (Bronze), Darlene (Bronze), Florida Fry (Bronze), Granny Val (Bronze) and
