In warm habitats, berries have been ripening for some time, but there are also some unripe berries in the bunch.
“The busiest people already picked their berries for pies in the south some time ago,” said Centre for Natural Resources Senior Researcher Rainer Peltola.
The harvest will be abundant in many places, and mediocre in only a few. The ripening period requires appropriate sun, heat and rain.
“In the far south, the number of flowers was abundant, but there are fewer raw berries. Blueberries bloomed there so early that pollinators did not have time to do their work,” said Peltola.
