Planting: \u003c\/strong\u003eDig a hole with the shovel that is about twice the size of the root ball of the bush. Make sure the hole is the same depth as the container it comes in. When planting more than one blueberry bush, dig holes that are at least five feet apart in rows that are 10 feet apart. Amend the soil from the hole with peat moss. Make sure to thoroughly mix the peat moss with the soil from the hole. Place the Blueberry bush in the hole. Cover the roots with soil-peat moss mix.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e2. Watering: \u003c\/strong\u003eYour blueberry bushes will need to be watered regularly to make certain that the root system becomes well established. The soil surrounding your tree should be moist, but never saturated. Light green leaves can be a sign of overwatering, while drooping leaves can be a sign of both over or under-watering.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e3. Fertilizing: \u003c\/strong\u003eYou do not need to fertilize the Blueberry bush at the time of planting. Fertilize the Blueberry bush twice a year, once in the spring and once after harvest.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e4. Pruning: \u003c\/strong\u003eBlueberries require only minimal pruning. Lower limbs can be thinned out to keep the fruit from touching the soil, and excessively vigorous upright shoots can be thinned out several feet from the ground to keep the center of the bush open, and to keep the bearing surface within reach. Spindly, weak, or dead branches should be thinned out annually during the dormant season.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e5. Pollination: \u003c\/strong\u003eThis blueberry is self-fertile, but you'll see a greater yield with two or more varieties to pollinate each other.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Fast-Growing-Trees.com","offers":[{"title":"1 Quart","offer_id":48860341403818,"sku":"13147","price":4.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Quart","offer_id":48860341469354,"sku":"17786","price":5.69,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"1 Gallon","offer_id":48860341534890,"sku":"14302","price":6.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"2 Gallon","offer_id":48860341600426,"sku":"13148","price":7.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"3 Gallon","offer_id":48860341698730,"sku":"13149","price":32.54,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/6566\/3658\/files\/6ra22az2ikfy_6bdf91f1-ac4d-4c05-b518-5facd337ea5b.jpg?v=1784866094","url":"https:\/\/fastgrowingtrees.shop\/products\/bushel-and-berry-peach-sorbettm-blueberry-bush-8lrvth","provider":"Wasatch \u0026 West Goods","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
