Hi Berghill. Oh my goodness. Glad I’m not in Conneticut. All those pests to look out for! Thank you. It made an interesting read but no green catetpillars. Im going to the nursery where I bought the pkants in 2 weeks so I will ask them.
BLT you would have felt the blueberries and they would not have been nice and firm so I wouldn’t worry because I think you would have only kept and frozen the firm ones so no caterpillars. That jam sounds delicious!
come on someone out there must have had green caterpillars in blueberries!!
3 years I have had my blueberry bushes and not a single berry..........
What varieties have you got ... they're not all the same variety are they? Most blueberries need pollinating by a different variety of blueberry. We have three blueberry bushes, all different varieties.

Pink lemonade and yes all the same. I am sure I was told they are self fertile but maybe not? They are in large pots of ericaceous compost healthy looking bushes but no fruit
I don't know Pink Lemonade but there's quite a bit of stuff on 'tinterweb about it not producing well and probably not being totally self-fertile ... apparently it's a hybrid between two different blueberry species which makes it difficult to find the right pollination partner
Hi Jayjardin, did you ever discover what your little caterpillars were, I think I might have the same problem but can't find out from google what it is or how to get rid of it!!
