PITCHFORK’S BLUEBERRY BUSH BUYING AND PLANTING GUIDELINES

What’s to know about buying blueberry bushes and planting blueberry bushes?

Literature appears not to be immediately, directly assistive in buying blueberry bushes - not on an individual, here-I-am basis, one-off; there's a heap o' knowledge to get it right with your site and the bushes to be planted.

Local suppliers - big and small - may be helpful to a point - that point being to chose from the spectral supply of blueberry cultivars (a/k/a cultivated variety) those  suitable to you and your site - both, you and your planting site.  Yep, there are often options for buyer selection among otherwise good-to-go varieties, e.g., size of the berry, harvest time, etc., etc., etc.  (You'll see more in the companion piece to this one here under.)

Information on choosing and planting can be or seem to be conflictive - different types of blueberry bushes, how deep to prepare the planting bed, how much surface area to the planting bed, when to trim a blueberry bush, how to trim a blueberry bush, and so forth.  It is Pitchfork's impression that the closer you get to blueberry nurseries, the simpler the process of getting you conveniently and correctly from a phone call and order form to watching the little leaves flutter in your backyard's breezes.

Let's review the two major points by Pitchfork in buying and planting blueberry bushes, which, in summary, urge that you don't wing it and needn't, either.

#1 Work with a professional blueberry nursery

#2  Follow the planting directions
