Are Blueberries Easy to Grow?

With the proper light, soil, and water blueberry bushes are easy to grow. Plant in full sun and moist, acidic soil for optimal growth. We carry several varieties so you are sure to find a blueberry plant or three that suits your needs! Blueberries, like apples, grow best when they are able to cross-pollinate with another variety, but we do carry self pollinating Blueberry varieties for those of us with small spaces.

How to Plant Blueberry Bushes

When planting Blueberry Bushes, dig a hole twice the width of the root ball and not quite as deep as the root ball is tall. Place your plant evenly in the hole. The top of the root ball should be slightly higher than the existing soil line. Backfill with the soil you dug out. Water deeply until the water begins to pool on the ground surface. Apply 1 to 2 inches of mulch to reduce watering needs and help eliminate weeds. Water daily for the first week and 2 to 3 times weekly for the first 2 months until your plant is established.

How Far Apart do You Plant Blueberry Bushes?

Give Blueberry Bushes plenty of space to grow. To determine how far apart you should plant your Blueberries, find the mature width of the Blueberry varieties you have chosen. Use the mature size plus at least 1 foot to measure out your planting area. For example if your bush grows to 5-6 feet wide, plant the bushes at least 7 feet apart from center to center of each plant. If you want to create a hedge for landscape purposes, plant closer, but no less than 5 feet.

How to Prune Blueberry Bushes

Prune Blueberries in late winter or early spring. Young bushes and dwarf blueberry bushes rarely require pruning. Pruning established Blueberry plants can increase fruit yields and the health of your plant. Consider that the best portion of your crop will emerge from strong, newer, upright canes on the top half of your bush. Start by pruning back any low spreading branches. Remove the oldest canes all the way to the ground. Prune back any overgrown canes to match up with the rest of your bush. Remove the short, thin shoots that will not be able to bear a load of fruit. Do not remove more than ⅓ of you plant per year. Remove dead or broken branches when you notice them.

How to Grow Blueberry Plants

Plant Blueberry Bushes in full sun and acidic, well-drained, but moist soil. Blueberry plants will be the most productive if you keep the soil moist during the growing season. Fertilize in spring with a very berry fertilizer.. Keep your plants mulched throughout the year to help the ground retain moisture and protect the roots during temperature extremes. Blueberry Bush care is easy if you have acidic soil. Plant in sun and water! Growing Blueberries in a soil pH of 4.5 to 5.5 will get you the best results. If your soil is not acidic you will have some challenges, but your soil can be amended with elemental sulfur or even compost to lower the pH. Planting Blueberries in pots is another option to keep things simple when you have difficult conditions.

Can you Use Blueberries as a Landscape Shrub?

Blueberry shrubs make great hedges! You don’t need to hide your fruit plants in the backyard! Practical and beautiful, blueberry bushes look lovely in the landscape. Prune in late winter to early spring to the size and shape you desire. Flowers, berries, and great fall color…what more could you want?
