Is this normal Jellowing

[7vicsmcc]

Blueberry is a late bloomer and the only one without bud rot and mildew (the free ones) even though grown outside next to others that did (2 dif. types) and same nutrients. They looked gawjus, 7' tall 4' wide.
Is this over all yellow leaf drop normal with some species?

7vicsmcc , Man those are beautiful,
That's the way my outdoors plants look, 2-3weeks before I harvest them.
Even the stalk will turn a pale yellow. All I use on mine is molasses and water, the last few weeks,
Good Luck

That is beautiful. Nice even fade. I'll bet my paycheck that will be some smooooth smoke. Pull the leaves as they get loose before crispy. When they're crispy they stick to the bud 😉

How do you know ahead of time?

I don't understand your question, but I've grown a few plants over the last 50years, and that's the way they look when they are growing out in the woods ,naturally, and getting close to the end of life.
Nice job. And like Californiakid said, it's gonna be smooth tasting, too.
Good Luck with your harvest.

Just meant how would one know how long to harvest just by looking without all the anal stuff?

The leaves start turning yellow, and the white hairs turn to red -brown and start receding back in the bud . Lets you know that you are getting close.
Then you need to get a loupe, and look at the trichs.
