| Wild blueberries tend to work best in a two year cycle. Prune them with either fire or a mow one year (either spring or the fall before), so they produce a sprout with lots of flower buds, and then the next year they produce lots of flowers that give fruit if they're pollinated. The plants will produce flower buds and fruit in subsequent years, but because of either damage from harvesting or stress from a large crop it is usually beneficial to prune again after a single crop. Many fields are level enough to prune with a mower, but there are still many around our area that're too rough to mow so they still require burning.
