How to Use Liberty Blueberry in the Landscape

Although Blueberries are for the most part self-fruitful, add an additional variety for a much bigger crop. Try an early season like Duke and a mid-season selection like Toro planted close by to expand and extend your season of fresh fruit.

Add a row of Blueberries anywhere you have a little sunshine. You'll create a beautiful, informal hedge to define your yard.

Create a solid low hedge by planting four to six feet apart on center. Measure from the center of one to the center of the next.

Enjoy Liberty berries in delicious salads, smoothies, pies, jams, jellies and more with your very own fruit. Honestly, there is nothing better than knowing you have months of berries in the freezer for your family.

Grow Blueberry plants in slightly acidic soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. They'll do fine in the ground in areas where you see Rhododendrons or Lupines growing in the wild.

Alkaline soil or short on space? No yard at all? No problem. The Liberty makes a fine patio container plant.

For proper Blueberry container culture, use potting soil designed for acid-loving plants. Plan to mulch with pine bark or pine straw.

Blueberries have a shallow root system, so a wide pot is best. Ensure the pot has plenty of drainage holes, and drill more if you need to.

If your soil is alkaline, your tap water may be, too. Collect rainwater to use on your Blueberry shrubs, an easy way to enjoy a more productive plant.

#ProPlantTips for Care

Plant your Blueberry bush in either full sun or partial shade. Please give it at least four hours of sunlight a day.

As well, Blueberries need well-drained soil that drains quickly after a rainfall. Raise the bed or plant in containers if you need to improve your drainage.

Apply a moderate amount of water on a regular basis, especially during fruit production. Catch neutral pH rainwater in a rain barrel for your Liberty Blueberries.

Prune to correct shape in late winter. Removing crossing branches and branches that grow into the interior of the plant at that time.

In early spring, fertilize with a formula for acid-loving plants according to the directions on the label. Use the application rate listed on the bottle.
