Planting & Care

Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and plant in acidic, well-draining soil. Water regularly to keep soil moist but not soggy, especially during hot or dry periods. Apply a balanced, acidic fertilizer in early spring and again in late spring or early summer according to package directions. Prune dead wood in late winter and remove non-productive branches after harvest to encourage new fruit-bearing growth the following season. Since this variety is self-pollinating, no additional plants are needed for fruit production, though adding another blueberry variety can increase your yield.
