US (OK): Berry crops delayed by cold

Cold weather has delayed the blueberry and blackberry harvest in Oklahoma. Blueberries, which should have been ready for harvest already and blackberries, set to peak next month, have been put behind schedule by the weather.

The rainfall in the area has been good for the crops, but it will be another two weeks before the first fruit can be harvested, according to Blueberry Acres owner, Clayton Denton.

“At this point, I’m looking at having ripe berries around the first of June,” he said. “We have a fairly good set of berry bushes set, but we’re down in terms of numbers of live bushes. We’ve lost probably about more than a third to drought and age. They’ve been stressed over the past three years.”
