have been a blueberry grower for over 10 years and this book is a real eye opener. I’ve never seen a book that so clearly distills the essential information I need to know, and in such an easily accessible manner. The information is balanced and easy to read and understand. I can’t wait to read the book again, and I can’t imagine a more perfect purchase for my son who is now starting

I have read many books on Blueberries in the past. Some were good and some were not. This one is one of the good ones. I am a Horticulture student at Washington State University. I found this book at the Book Store and decided to purchase it. I am glad I did. This book not only helps me to understand the basic science of Blueberries but also helps me to understand the implications and effects of various practices and environments
