Diane,
We have a Pick-your-own Farm. We picked 953 lbs from 800 plants this year.
Four years old, Caroline and Autumn Bliss. We didn't like Heritage, small
and prone to die of wet feet. (phytophthora). By that reckoning, 50 plants
should yield about 50 lbs, or about 8 gallons. Our berries are irrigated and
sprayed with pre-emergent weed killer, and that makes all the difference.
