Quillback Posted March 15, 2024 Posted March 15, 2024 Here's something to shoot for if you are: A blueberry grown in Australia has been recognized by Guiness World Records as the heaviest in the world. The golf-ball-sized berry, picked on Nov. 13 at a farm run by Costa Group in Corindi, Australia, came in at 20.4 grams, or 0.72 ounces, and measures more than an inch and a half across, about 10 times the size of an average blueberry. It easily surpassed the previous record holder, which also came from Australia and weighed 16.2 grams or 0.57 ounces. Senior horticulturist Brad Hocking said the team at Costa, which develops one or two new blueberry varieties a year through its variety improvement program, was “stoked” when the berry was weighed. The record-smashing berry was only one of about 20 of a similar size from the Eterna variety. Johnsfolly 1

Maverickpro201 Posted March 16, 2024 Posted March 16, 2024 I go to a blueberry farm place the middle of June in Farmington MO. I picked 15 lbs last year and they are about gone now. BilletHead and Quillback 2
