Caring for Highbush Blueberry Bushes
To ensure the success of your highbush blueberry bushes, consider these care tips:
- Soil Requirements: Highbush blueberries thrive in well-drained, acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Amend your soil with peat moss or sulfur to achieve the right acidity.
- Sunlight and Watering: These plants prefer full to partial sun and require regular watering to keep the soil moist, especially during fruit development and in hotter temperatures.
- Pruning: Prune your bushes in late winter to remove older branches, which encourages healthy new growth and more fruitful bushes.
- Fertilization: Apply a balanced, slow-release fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants after pruning to support vigorous growth.
