The yield of blueberries is estimated in kg per bush or t/ha and depends on the age of the plant, varietal characteristics, and agricultural practices. Peak productivity of mature bushes reaches 5–10 kg, while on commercial plantations, it reaches 10 or more tons per hectare.

crop Highbush blueberry,
where this is mentioned in the description.
For highbush blueberries, yield increases as the bush matures, reaching a maximum by the age of 12 during a 30–45-year productive period. In the 3rd to 5th year of bearing, yields range from 1–2 kg per bush, whereas for mature plants, high values vary from 5 to 10 kg.
Crop productivity is characterized by alternating bearing cycles of ups and downs ranging from 2 to 7 years, determined by the genetics of the cultivar. A key agronomic factor is pruning, as berries form on the previous year's shoots, and maintaining an optimal soil pH level within 3.5–4.5 is essential for preserving reproductive potential.
