When to prune blueberry? There are two deadlines
Contrary to appearances, they are not as difficult to grow as you might think. It is enough to remember about regular pruning, thanks to which we will provide the plant with the opportunity to grow and release new shoots. You should watch the timing, because too late or early pruning can result in poor flowering and poor fruiting. When to prune blueberry? We do it in two terms. Winter pruning is carried out in the period from February to March, while autumn pruning should be done before the first frost. Old shoots should be cut off close to the ground, as the blueberry bears fruit best from 2 or 3-year-old shoots. Remember to leave at least 6 to 8 of the strongest shoots on the bush, otherwise the plant may wither.

Blueberries grow best on acidic and humus soil, but places where water accumulates should be avoided. They require regular watering as they do not tolerate drought well. If we are dealing with a rainless period, it is worth irrigating the bushes at least once every 3 days.
