    Thanks for the Info Nick. Ive planted a blueberry bush this spring 2024 and it appears to have taken in the soil rather well - had plenty of growth and leaves, but hardly a handful of blueberries this 1st summer. I do know my soil isnt acid enough, and will correct this in the autumn and spring 2025. Ive lost the label telling me what variety it was, and was going to add another bush to help with cross polination - is this going to be a problem taking a guess at what variety next bush to buy ? should I take them out of the plot and put them in large pots also ?

    The first branch you cut was a mistake...never cut those main branches on blueberries...you also cut another large green branch on the side... Unnecessary waste...

    When is the best time of year/season to prune the branches.? In Australia we are in Autumn (Fall), and my husband pruned my blueberries tree/ bush just to the main trunks. And now I’m panicking, and with great anticipations, I’m waiting to see if that was a good choice.

    • @NicksAllotmentDiary
      @NicksAllotmentDiary 5 месяцев назад

      Hi. You normally cut back blueberries in the winter when the bush is dormant. I’d say if he’s cut the branches back to the main trunk then you’ll not get any fruit next year. New growth will appear in spring but that won’t fruit until the following summer. Sorry for the bad news. Take care. Nick

    • @NicksAllotmentDiary
      @NicksAllotmentDiary 5 месяцев назад

      When the blueberry is not actively growing. In the UK this is winter. In warmer climates after fruiting would probably be best. Take care. Nick
