Care Guide
Water Regularly in Summer
Wherever possible, water your blueberry bushes with rainwater. Tap water will raise the pH level and blueberries prefer acidic conditions.
Full sun
Position in Full Sun (6h+)
Prune during the dormant season (November to March)
Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years, just remove any crossing or misplaced branches. Prune any time over the dormant season (November to March), but ideally in late February or early March so that you don't accidentally cut off fruit buds
