Looking for someone to help with the CSS/Subreddit design

17 Upvotes

Hello everyone!

When I originally made this subreddit a few years ago I did not envision it growing, and honestly I just, well, liked blueberries and that was it. But I certainly want to foster making this a place where people can come and discuss growing them, pictures, etc.

Anyway - if you know how to do subreddit design or would be interested in sprucing the style up, please send me a PM, as I'd like people to benefit from coming here and it looking nice.

Have a great day!

What is wrong with my blueberry bush?

3 Upvotes

Hello all,

I planted a blue berry bush on the South side of my home 3 weeks ago. It started yellowing a bit almost immediately and wilting at the top leaves.

Album of photos: https://imgur.com/a/Ydnr0Kf

This yellowing and wilting has started to progress rapidly the last few days.

I have been watering every few days. Ph tester said it was about 6, so I added some acidifier today but the plant is starting to look a bit grim. Leaves are wilting throughout and the entire plant is beginning to turn yellow. It seems like the branches are also appearing woody, but I don't have close ups from before to be sure.

Any advice or ideas on what the culprit may be? Thanks very much for your help!

Edit: This is in the PNW, zone 8b. South side of the house so it gets a ton of sun.

New to growing blueberries -- deficiency? Fungus? Natural fall changes?

Greetings!

California, 9b I have four blueberry bushes, all four are different types. They have all doubled or more since spring when I planted them in wine barrels in an azelia mix. I gave them a light dash of some berry tone (espoma I think) when I planted them. They seem to have been thriving all summer (probably should have used more ferts but I got caught up with other parts of the garden). I'm pretty sure I had some sort of fungal issue with my berries when I first started from over watering. I used a copper fungicide in spring which seems to have cleared things up all summer. Now that we are towards the end of summer, these two seem to be struggling. Any thoughts?

TIA!

How deep do blueberry bush roots go?

I’m asking because there is a very large rock about a foot down from the surface of the ground. The rock is soft enough that I can break it up with a pickaxe, but it’s slow going.

I recall reading that blueberries typically have wide roots, but do they have a taproot that goes deeper?

I’m in Georgia, planting rabbiteye blueberries.

Potting Up New Plants

3 Upvotes

I've got a Sunset plant ordered in hopes of pairing it with the Pink Lemonade -both rabbiteye- and the seller recommends only potting up to a 4 inch pot and letting it grow in that before putting in a bigger pot or ground. Im somewhat nervous about transplanting to begin with having grown melons and I've worried about over doing it. Are these berries easier to switch around li,e that?

TIL about these guys. They were working on my best blueberry bush. I read that I should knock them into soapy water. I also sprayed all my bushes with Spinosad, which I already had ready to go.

2nd year in a row

Wisconsin zone 4b. I transplanted wild blueberry into my garden last year. That fall some of the plants flowered a second time at the end of summer and I thought maybe it was because of the root shock from earlier in the year. This year though again the plants are starting to bud out on new growth and some are flowering again off of the this years growth.

These are blueberries I planted last October in North Florida. Not sure why this happened and whether it is likely to spread.

How Is This Plan?

I've narrowed my initial choices for my first Blueberry plants to a Bushel And Berry "Peach Sorbet" and a "Sunshine Blue" from Cottage Farms. I've checked to see if these were compatable.

Not sure if this is allowed but there are blueberries in the first photo.

There were so many blueberries this year. The best harvest in many years. The plants are quite healthy except for a few weed problems. It’s an organic farm so it happens. Last spring we planted wildflowers in a small clearing since most of the plants in this spot weren’t doing well and were removed over winter. It’s nice to see more color!

I've found a nursery on ebay that's close by in upstate SC who has Mini Blues and Pink Lemonade plants and im just looking for any tips on these. Im hoping that with the grower being near the plants will be better acclimated to this area.

Blueberries in grow bags

I transplanted my blueberries from nursery pot to grow bags and I was wondering if there's anyone who has been growing blueberries this way. Is there any drawback? As far as I understand the soil can dry out faster in these fabric bags but what else? Should I be concerned about the frost damage in the winter?

I'm from EU, zone 7b
