I've been looking at a number of blueberry planting videos recently as I'm getting ready to add a row of B. berries to the edge of my orchard. One important thing no one has mentioned is the number of winter chilling hours different varieties require. The people producing the videos seem to be from a climate that receives a lot of chill hours. I'm in a mild coastal climate and many varieties will not get enough chill hours to create fruit. I have a neighbor who has a dozen or so blue berry plants purchased at a local big box store. she doesn't see berries every year and when they appear they are low in number. I checked her varieties against a chill hour chart and each requires more chill hours that we normally get. I suggest adding a bit about choosing blue berry varieties suitable for local climates.

What an amazing video. You are explaining everything so thoroughly and clearly. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.

I can't tell you how happy I am with this video. I've been dying to see a good video on growing blueberries for ages. And I couldn't have wished for it to come from a better source! Very grateful!

Horse manure is high in acid and might be a great way lower the ph. Also horse manure works great to fertilize grass. That might why they grow so well together with blueberries.

Really good video thanks you. Calm delivery, lots of practical information, good speed and length. Often for other gardening videos I speed them up as they're so slow and rambling but yours was perfect.

Pine needles also make a great mulch for blueberries. They lower the ph and suppress weeds. 😊

Once again the Information is spot on and easy to follow!Love your channel keep it coming!Love from Canada!

Awesome! I have some stock tanks I was hoping I could plant some blueberries in so this video is perfect! Thank you 😊

Yep!! I see blueberries forming!! ❤

It has been many many years since we had blueberry plants. They started out very well until the deer ate them. Thanks for the how-to! Maybe we should try it again? Take care!

Thanks for all the great info, Jeff! I LOVE my blueberry plants!! I have 12, most are several years old, but I just can't help myself from picking up new ones, 😂 !! I would be interested in learning more about taking cuttings to propagate new plants. Also, I have found the perfect solution for protection from the birds. NOT bird netting, because the holes are too big, the berries pop thru it, and birds can get caught in it. The best is a fabric, called tulle (the material used for bridal veils). It's so easy to put on your bushes after pollination, with clothes pins. Birds don't even want to light on the material. It's perfect! Happy gardening and have a wonderful day!!

I grew up on low bush in Northern Minnesota; my favorite treat was the mint we'd find amongst the blueberries. Tall bush is foregein to me. I'll give em a go one day I expect.

Great videos. Well structured including your end of video summary. Thanks.

Always great information! Thank you!

Thank you for your videos, I'm learning a lot. Even the type of berry to plant. I'm just getting started and i feel confident after watching your videos that i can do this.

i recently bought some new blueberry plants and you helped fill some gaps (especially how close to plant for cross-pollination, i wasn't sure) that i was having a hard time finding an exact answer for. Lots of of other sources provide rough descriptions, such as "close", but fail to define what that actually means. Thank you!

Thank you, this video was very helpful

planting bare root blueberries for first time this weekend perfect timing on the vid thanks....

Bought my first plant last spring, plan on adding another this year. Have the elemental sulphur already after using to much wood ash in the garden raising pH. Second season after applying to garden and plants are better for it.
