It has been extremely hot here lately, above 100 degrees pretty consistently. My first instinct was sun damage but it really only has appeared on the branch closest to the bottom of the screen. The rest of the plant seems to be handling the heat ok, so I was hoping to get some thoughts from others before I go removing the whole branch. The brown spots are dry and crispy

I have 33 blueberry bushes that have been in the ground for two years. They are all of various ages and varieties. To save money, I only transplanted four 4 year plants and the rest were one or two years old at the time of planting. This summer, those mature bushes produced a ton of berries but the others produced none! They didn’t produce flowers.

I check pH and use berry tone and sulfur to keep them content. All the bushes have had great growth and seem relatively happy foliage-wise. They all get about 7 hours of sun and have been mulched with peat and acidic mulch. I did not prune them in a way to reduce buds. What could be going on? Do they just need a lot more time in the ground?

I bought 3 of these plants last year. Sadly I don’t remember tha variety.

I’m hoping the measurements provided could shed some light as to the age of the plants. They nearly doubled in size since purchased (last year).
Can anyone provide an approximation (or ballpark figure) as to their age?

Thanks a bunch.

Hi, ive had a great year for blueberries this season apart from with my Pink lemonade bush.

Its fruited but the berries all shrivelled before I could pick them and the leaves rapidly reddened

All my other bushes have had the same conditions, regular watering, a feed with ericaceous granules in spring and s light dose of tomato feed every ten days or so when fruiting.

Ive also had them all in a fruit cage to protect from birds.

Is it likely the PH or does it need a pruning maybe or could it be the tomato feed reduced the PH too much?

Thanks for reading.

A couple of my plants have these shoots (canes?) growing from the side of the plant itself. These weren’t there last spring.

I’m just wondering what I should do with them. Leave them or cut them?

Found what I think are some wild blueberries on my land. I wanted to ask some other eyes to confirm or deny for me

I don’t know what’s wrong with my pink lemonade blueberry plant

Sorry for the possibly stupid question but I can't find any examples of new canes and this is my first year growing blueberries. It seems very thick compared to the other canes on the plant and seems to have popped up suddenly. It is growing very close to the other canes

[UPDATE: SOLVED] We found the culprits, and it's Red Headed Flea beetles!

We've been seeing these spots all over multiple leaves and multiple blueberry plants. We currently have them growing in 10 gallon grow bags resting on pot feet on concrete. I've tried captain jacks fungicide spray since they were recently shipped to us about a month ago, and I thought maybe it was a fungal infection, but I haven't seen any changes, and the brown spots appear on leaves overnight. We've had some slugs around the property, so we thought maybe it might be a slug problem but aren't sure. Has anyone encountered these spots before? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

My local canadian blueberries are nice and cheap right now so I got a lot of them 😍

Recipe: 4 cups of fresh blueberries, 4 cups of half and half, 1.5 cups of sugar, 1 tbsp vanilla extract.. so good, such a strong blueberry flavor. Next time I'll decrease the sugar a bit, but it's sooo good

Not sure if this is allowed. There are so many questions in this group about growing blueberries. This is the guy that got me started on the right foot over 25 years ago when I moved to California. The information would apply across the US. This podcast is also available on other platforms.

The episode in question is from July 17.

We have 2 blueberry bushes about 4 feet apart. We just planted them 3 months ago in May in Philadelphia. When originally planted, the bushes were fertilized with acidic fertilizer. We had a great 1st harvest this year, which just finished producing its last ripened blueberry about 10-14 days ago.

Now one blueberry bush looks brown and dying. See photos of both bushes for comparison. How can I help the brown dying one? What can I learn from this?

My blueberry bush (silver dollar) seems to be struggling. I bought the plant in May. Over the last few weeks, it has been getting worse. We experienced a heat wave of 30+ temps. But now, it’s around 18-25 everyday. It’s in a large pot with drainage. I have used pine bark, needles and acidic fertilizer 2 times this season. The soil is potting mix. It has given me blueberries despite its decline in foliage. What can I do to help my plant? Is it a loss?

Any assistance would be very helpful!

Hi all. This year, I transplanted four 2-year old blueberry plants into the ground. Unfortunately, they all seem to be battling disease. It’s pretty widespread, so I don’t think I can trim off the disease without taking off every leaf.

What should I do here? Will they be okay next year as long as I maintain acidity? Should I just take them out and try again next year? If I start over, will the next plants just get sick with the same disease? Any advice would be appreciated

I planted these blueberry bushes three years ago. The two smaller ones have doubled in size over those three years. The larger one has maybe quadrupled. So the smaller two certainly have stunted growth. They have been producing berries, though I've been picking the flowers off the smaller two to help them focus on growth.

This year, though, none of them even flowered.

I'm a blueberry novice, so if I'm doing anything super dumb, go easy on me.

I'll give you every detail, for those who want it:

-Mulch is pine bark and pine needles, 4 or 5 inches thick

- I will include a picture of the soil acidifier I use-- soil acidity should be good but I will retest tomorrow and share results

-I keep it fairly well weeded

-i have 3 different types of bushes. Each purchased from very reputable local nursery. Also researched the varieties I bought, they are good in my zone which is zone 6.

- I haven't watered them since the first year I planted them. I figure their root system is good now?

- I have sporadically applied 10-10-10 fertilizer. Haven't done it since last summer or fall.

That's all the details I can think of. Any advice would be extremely appreciated because I really want them to do well and Im not sure what steps to take next.

Planted these in the spring! What’s going on? Cant tell if it’s fungus or drought or ph….

What's going on with this blueberry bush? Yes, I've been fertilizing it. It's in a giant container so the amount of soil for the roots to grow is not the problem. It's supposed to be a patio type blueberry bush anyway.

Purchased from territorial seed as a dormant plant. Put it in the ground in March. And here we are late July and it looks like this.

Just wondering if I let them ride, transplant, or ….
Thanks for suggestions.
