Planting & Care

Where to Plant

  • Sunlight: Aim for at least 6 hours of direct sunlight daily to ensure the highest yield and sweetest berries. While Bluecrop tolerates partial shade, fruit production will drop significantly in lower light.
  • Soil: Blueberries require acidic, well-draining soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5 to thrive. If you have heavy clay or alkaline soil, it is often easier to grow these in containers or raised beds filled with peat moss and pine bark rather than fighting your native soil.

Watering Requirements

Blueberries have shallow root systems, so keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy, especially during the first establishment year. If watering becomes inconsistent during fruit set, you will likely end up with smaller, mealy berries or premature fruit drop.

Pruning Tips

Prune in late winter while the plant is dormant to stimulate the new growth that will bear fruit in future seasons. Focus on removing dead wood and cutting out the oldest, thickest canes (anything thicker than a thumb) down to the ground to keep the bush productive and open to airflow.

Fertilizer Needs

Use an acid-loving fertilizer formulated for rhododendrons or azaleas in early spring just as new growth begins. Stop fertilizing by mid-summer to avoid pushing late, tender growth that won't harden off in time for winter.
