The size and water content of blueberry is very variable. And so does the berries count per pound.
Read the full reply6# blueberries per gallon; I just weighed a pint (12 oz).
K J,
I'm sure the OP knows that. He was looking for a number to work with, not more uncertainty. The value of 6lbs/gal is a measured quantity and, as written, carries an implied uncertainty of +/- 0.5lbs. I actually gave a _range_ of weights from 5.5lbs to 6.5lbs, and that should cover any likely variability. If the value given were something like 6.000, it would have been a different matter, and your point would have been appropriate. BTW, the 6lbs/gal figure actually came from a Google search on commercial blueeberry sales; I only verified it with a quick check of a single pint. Sorry if I come on a bit strong here, but I gave a very good answer, even addressing your point, and still seem to be the only one to help the guy out. Any one else have a number?

I think your elaboration in the last answer you gave was much better Mike. The first one did not point to any of the uncertainties you have now discussed. I think you helped him a lot.
FWIW, I just picked BB's and ended up with 10.5# in a 2 gallon bucket. I think 5 to 6# /gallon is a reasonable estimate.
yesterday I picked, blue crop, big and plump, got about 13 lbs in a 2 lb bucket.... just fyi Rick
you mean 2 gallon bucket right? Louise:o)
yeah, what I meant, not what I said!! :-)
Thanks. Rick
