Blueberries are generally in season during the warmer months, but the exact timing depends on the region:
- In the Northeast, Midwest, and Northwest of the United States, blueberry season typically runs from July through September.
- In the Southeast and Southwest, blueberries are in season earlier, from around April through June.
- California's blueberry season is roughly from March to June.
- In Florida, blueberry season is from March through early May.
- The main blueberry harvest in North America mostly peaks between June and August.
This variation is due to different blueberry varieties, climate zones, and chill hour requirements, with high chill varieties suited for colder areas and low chill varieties for warmer regions. The blueberry season generally spans from spring to early fall depending on the location and variety.
Thus, the peak blueberry season in much of the US is from late spring through summer, with regional differences as noted above.
