Into the book
Despite its short cultivation history, blueberries have established themselves as a major fruit tree.
The cultivation area and consumer market continue to increase.
Why? Because of the unique charm of blueberries.
Above all, it has excellent taste and functionality, a stable market price, and high income.
I highly recommend blueberries to aspiring farmers.
--- p.11
Blueberries' functional substance, 'anthocyanin', is divided into six types, and each type has different functionality.
Blueberries contain a wide variety of anthocyanins.
In particular, it contains a lot of blue anthocyanins, so it is blue in color and has special functionality accordingly.
This is why blueberries are called a 'superfood'.
--- p.17
One of the charms of blueberries is their excellent ornamental qualities.
It is a fruit tree where you can enjoy looking at the trees, flowers, and fruits.
If I say this, you might ask if the same thing applies to apples and peaches.
However, blueberries are different in that they are shrubs and small in stature, making them suitable for bringing into garden beds or indoors to enjoy.
Blueberries are a fruit that you can enjoy growing, looking at, and picking and eating while keeping them around you.
--- p.108
Let us look at the trees growing in the mountains and fields.
It grows well even without fertilizer.
As long as the cycle of the natural ecosystem is not broken, normal growth is possible with natural fertilizers supplied by nature.
Farming today tends to involve too much interference with the crops once they are planted.
The problem caused by excessive fertilization is the phenomenon of salt concentration disturbance.
Fertilizers that accumulate in the soil burn and kill blueberry leaves.
If it's not enough, you can give a little more, but if it's too much, there's no solution.
It is important to grow trees with minimal interference and seemingly insufficient fertilization.
--- p.161~162
Blueberry farms are quiet in winter.
Except during harvest season, if there is work, it is light work.
In the quiet winter, I go out to the blueberry field and prune the trees from time to time.
Although February is the right time, busy people start in December.
The idea is to do a little bit every day.
In winter, the trees shed their clothes and reveal their interior, allowing you to approach them more closely.
So, you can have a light skinship and even have a silent conversation with the sleeping blueberry.
As soon as pruning begins, all the worries and distractions of the world disappear.
--- p.199
After becoming a mature tree, all I did on the farm was pruning once in the spring, weeding twice in the summer, and harvesting.
It is a large tree that has grown into a mature tree, but it is not given a single handful of fertilizer or a single drop of water.
Yet, the results are astonishing every year.
It's been three years since we've had a proper harvest.
It runs a lot, the eggs are big, and the taste is also the best.
When we go to harvest, everyone is impressed by nature's gifts.
I admire the blue-green fruits hanging in clusters, am moved by the taste of each grain, and above all, bow my head to nature's bountiful gifts.
The cultivation area and consumer market continue to increase.
Why? Because of the unique charm of blueberries.
