Patch Calculator: Yield, Space & Grocery Value

Honest math, with the assumptions on the table: a mature highbush or rabbiteye bush in a good year yields roughly 8–15 lb (rabbiteyes and top highbush can exceed it; half-highs run 3–7 lb). Store blueberries commonly run $4–6 per pound in season — use your own store's price below.

These are mature-bush figures (year 5+). Expect little in year 1 (you pinched the flowers — right?), a taste in years 2–3, and real crops from year 4. A $60 trio of young bushes returning $150+ of fruit a year at maturity is why gardeners call blueberries the best investment in the yard — provided zone, chill and pH were right, which is what the Finder is for.
