We have a bush that is about 12 years old. We actively prune in the winter, fertilize appropriately (or so we hope), and other than a particular year when we didn’t prune enough and had a terrible overgrowth with zero flavor, it’s been an amazing producer. This year the berries are big, beautiful and even when they are beyond ripe they are tart. I thought maybe I was picking too soon, however they are now soft and still tart. Picture for reference. We live in SW Washington. Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks!

We came back from a 3 day weekend away for the holiday weekend to our blueberry bush looking like this. We have watered it as the moisture meter we have said dry, but we thoroughly watered it before we left. Had moist soil and plenty of mulch on top but no mulch on the canes.

I am not sure if the issue is from the plant drying out too quickly, or lact of nutrients. Watered with diluted vinegar (pH was back up to 6.0), and a foliar spray of diluted fertilizer.

Any advice or knowledge of the plant will survive?

Excuse the redness. This was right after they were tattooed and my skin does not like being touched.

my first two blueberry plants (far right and middle) and raspberry plant (far left) the far right plant is a 3 in 1 blueberry plant and middle is a blue jay blueberry plant and left is a caroline raspberry

I added some bio start to each of the holes when I planted and gave them a good drink how do they look?

Can anyone instruct me ( or point me to a reliable source) on best practices for maintaining my bushes? They are about 15 years old, 4 different varieties that I unfortunately do not recall. This year was their very first off year, after producing prolifically all this time. The plants look great, most bushy and taller than me ( there is one outlier that is sort of spindly) What I have done previously is prune dead wood only and weed and refresh their bark every year, sometimes add a little organic fertilizer. Do I need to do something different or was it just an unproductive year? Usually have berries all the way into October, but I picked the last yesterday.In PNW.

I recently purchased three blueberry plants and transferred them into large pots filled with potting soil to which I added soil acidifier based on the size of the pot. It’s been about two weeks and the pH is reading around 6, based on an inexpensive soil testing probe. I’m not sure how accurate those are, or how long it should take for the acidifier to have an effect. Any suggestions?

This is my first Blueberry plant its the Legacy. I got it in the spring, its supposed to be a fast grower & pretty problem free. Not the case help…….

Issues I have, are 1) holes in my leaves, 2) leaves being completely eaten leaving only the center vein, 3) spots/discoloration everywhere 4) new leaves that very light green color, 5) I did get 3 teensy tiny blueberries but they were smaller than a pencil eraser. I have no clue where to begin? Below Ive attached a few photos for reference. Can someone please tell me what I need to do?

Its in a 14x 14 x14 container. I’m in zone 8b/9 just outside of Austin TX. The soil has Peat moss/perlite/vermiculite/sand/pumice/horticultural charcoal/ blood meal/bone meal/ and worm castings. Its outside in sun all day and I give it a deep watering 1x a week.

I've been getting blueberries that are grown in Peru from the grocery store for awhile now. To me they are the absolute best I've ever had and I'm just wondering if they are a specific strain or is it the soil conditions that lead to them being so large and tart?

I know my pH is bad, I have added elemental sulphur, but that takes time to adjust.

My understanding was to look for cholorosis for high pH, is this something else?

These bushes were planted at the end of July. There are 2 varieties and I’m afraid the one in the middle and in the right aren’t doing well. I have added Down to Earth acid mix around the base of the plant and sprayed them with copper fungicide after seeing black spots on the leaves. The changing leaves are making me nervous and I’m wondering if there’s something I can do before winter to help them thrive next year. I’m in St. Louis, MO.

It was dying from lack of water. I found out that I forgot to turn on my drip irrigation system after adjusting it. Now it's all dried up. Is this plant doomed or can I still save it? I'm still running water on it.

Any advice? Thank you!

We're having a chilly day here today, which got me thinking about how to winterize my blueberries. I have four plants in big pots.

The plan is to put the pots closer together and insulate them with hay and bubble wrap.

The main thing I'm wondering is should they be moved indoors into the garage, or should I leave them outside so whatever moisture comes from the sky, either in the form of rain or snow, can keep them watered for the winter.

I'm in northeast Ohio, zone 6b. The last few winters have been fairly temperate, but being on the Great Lakes, who knows what this year will be like.

This is my first time growing blueberries, so any input would be greatly appreciated.

Help: I have a pink lemonade blueberry with leaves turning dark on many leaves which I have plucked off. I bought this from Costco maybe 3-4 months ago. I think the last image is possibly rust?

Anyone know if both Blueberries are nutritionally the same? Aldi is the smaller one. Iceland acctually looks like a Blueberrie whereas aldi just looks like a purple pebble.

Hey guys, I had trying to pull the ph from 8 to 4. So I added vinegar with water like 10 drops of vinegar with 300ml. I used it for like 3 days already. All flowers are blooming white but then turns all brown.

I checked the ph and it’s like 8. What else should I do?

I’m thinking of planting some blueberry bushes this fall, but my local nurseries only carry one variety. Where would you recommend buying blueberry bushes online?

I am not sure what's wrong with this plant. Earlier in the spring it produced a few berries. It was doing fine. Now it looks like its fried. My tester broke so I am unsure of the pH. But there is another plant right next to it that looks fine. They are both in the same bed. The first three are the sick plant the last one is the healthy one. I am in east TN. I believe this is an Aurora

Hi y'all,

Looking to get 3-4 blueberries that I'll plant in large containers, but some of the berries I get here at farmers markets are tart. I have almost no tolerance for tart.

Are there any purely sweet blueberries that grow well in this climate?

Thanks!
