Planting & Care
Plant within four weeks of arrival in a location with full sun and well-draining soil. Blueberries require acidic conditions between pH 4.5 and 5.5—test your soil before planting, and consider container growing if your native soil is too alkaline. Dig a planting hole twice as wide as the root ball and amend with organic matter or peat moss, then apply a 3-foot mulch layer to retain moisture and regulate soil temperature. Space plants 6–8 feet apart to allow room for spreading. Water consistently during dry periods to keep soil evenly moist, prune dead or crossing branches in late winter, and apply an acidic blueberry fertilizer in early spring following package directions.
