Planting & Care

Plant your bare root blueberry plugs in early spring or fall when the plant is dormant. Choose a location with full sun to partial shade and well-drained, acidic soil. If your soil is not naturally acidic, amend it with peat moss or a soil acidifier. Dig a hole wide enough to accommodate the roots without crowding, and set the plant at the same depth it was growing previously. Water thoroughly after planting to settle the soil.

Keep the soil consistently moist, especially during the first growing season, to help the plants establish. Mulch around the base to conserve moisture and suppress weeds, but keep mulch away from the stem. Fertilize in early spring with a fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants. Prune in late winter to remove dead or crossing branches and encourage new growth. With proper care, your blueberry plants will provide years of delicious harvests.
