Only fresh picked are fresh... blueberries lose more than half their
flavor within the first hour of picking and their texture quickly
becomes mushy, fresh picked POP! I have a dozen blueberry bushes, I
know the difference.

Any huckleberries out in the desert? Huckleberries seem to be a rare
commodity where I live, in Massachusetts.

Sheldon, you're very lucky! I remember when I was a little kid (five years
old?) picking blackberries and raspberries along the road while taking a
walk with my dad. Blueberries, no. Definitely not cherries! I do
remember the thorns from the blackberry and raspberry bushes! The wild
berries probably had a lot more flavour 40 years ago. And I'm sure that's
as fresh as the berries in my life will ever get

This is true- I never liked store bought blueberries, but fresh picked
are completely different. Unfortunately the last 2 seasons were so bad
that my favorite u-pick farm never even opened.

We have them here where I live in WA- I probably have 30 bushes in my
yard. I don't like them tho- they taste musty to me.
