We have about 10 blueberry plants - one of which is over 50 years old. So plant them well, treat them well, and you'll have blueberries for a long time!

I planted my blueberries in a mix of one half sand and one half peat moss. The berries absolutely love it. I dug the hole and lined it with this mixture. Blueberries also love coffee grounds! Thank you for the great information!

We grow a variety called Pink Lemonade. The berries take on a deep burgundy color instead of the deep blue. The birds don't realize they're ripe and have a tendency to leave them alone. I find Pink Lemonade to be a bit sweeter than regular blueberries.

I love blueberries, picked them for for four summers at a farm in the south of England. I'm now living in France and am dedicating a quarter of my polytunnel to this wonderful fruit. From experience I recommend, Bluecrop, Herbert, Patriot, Duke, Spartan and Earlyblue.

Thank you for the blueberry pruning tips. Last year was my first time growing. We get -30C winters here with high winds. I protected them with two layers of burlap for shrubs and hope it did the trick.

my blueberries took several years before they really started cranking out the fruit. I also put some coffee grounds on them occasionally for acid. oh yeah, not just wild birds I have to fight to keep my chickens out of them too. :)

I remember the first time my blueberries cropped at my allotment. I went down to pick them and they were all gone, I was furious that someone had knicked them. The next day the plot was covered in purple Badger poo, and I was like "oh, that's where they went!". I've always netted them after that.

I really want to grow blueberries one day. The pink lemonade variety stands out the most to me.
-
We are lucky enough to have inherited blueberry plants on our land, plus we’ve planted more. Highbush varieties do well in my area.(Upstate NY)

Am going to try them this year on my allotment. The ones in the video look so juicy thank you for the inspiration.

This is great and concise. Just bought a plant along with acidic soil. Will wait a while before planting out maybe. Thankyou.

Best instructions I've heard so far

I am a first time blueberry grower in Canada. I have the Hat Top, Duke, Elliot, and Pink Lemonade planted on 12” pots. I hope they would bear fruits next year. Thanks for video! 💕

Thank you for your so much for your explanation on how to grow Blueberries

I love a variety of blueberries. We have Patriot, Legacy and Chandler - they are the favorites but we also have Duke, Bluecrop and some of the species berries, very tiny and really sweet if we leave them alone.
