Planting & Care

Plant bare root starter plugs in early spring or late fall while dormant. Choose a location with full sun and well-drained, acidic soil. If your soil is not naturally acidic, amend with peat moss or a soil acidifier. Dig a hole wide enough to spread the roots, place the plant at the same depth it was growing previously, and backfill gently. Water thoroughly after planting and keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season.

Apply a layer of mulch to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the plant crown. Fertilize sparingly with an acid-loving plant fertilizer in early spring. Prune lightly to remove dead or weak branches and to maintain shape. Chandler blueberries benefit from cross-pollination with another highbush variety for larger yields, though they can produce fruit on their own.
