Planting & Care

Top Hat Blueberry bushes grow best in full sun with acidic, well-drained soil. Dig a planting hole about twice as wide as the root ball and plant at the same depth as the container. Blueberries prefer consistently moist soil but should not sit in standing water. Mulching around the base helps maintain soil moisture and acidity. Light pruning during dormancy helps maintain shape and encourages strong new growth for future fruit production.
