I've watched a lot of blueberry-care videos, and this is far and away the clearest, most well-presented of them all. The narrator speaks logically and understandably, and the pictures re-enforce and demonstrate everything the narrator says. Five Stars!
He's just hiding behind a slide show to spread gnostic doctrines. University comes from universe . People should learn to understand the definition of words (lexicography & etymology). The universe is related to Creation ; the study of the creation that is globally taken the beings composing creation. In this presentation, we are not teached universal knowledge, natural knowledge nor fundamental knowledge ; but a separated aspect of science based upon human conceptions of science called engineering (applied science) and ideology. These are not fundamental sciences anymore (like biology, chemistry, physics) but doctrines laying on subjective concepts for hidden/occult purposes. Fundamental science is humility & based upon God's knowledge. Applied & human ideas-based sciences are the treshold /demarcation line separating us from God's Creation. These sciences can be lead by spirits that are not respectful towards Creation anymore. It's important to be able to discern what kind of spirit is hiding behind every thing (object, sign, symbol,...), idea or person ; to understand the intention. So to make it simple the occult intention of this "lesson" is intended to arouse greedy emotions behind a universal banner. It's deception. And the other aspect to take into account is the spreading of this idea to become collective into action. This is how ideas are spread amongst the public through mental impregnation and become ideologies. Ideologies always cause prejudice since having the intention to be imposed to others. So what is happenning when we combine greed & prejudice ; when an applied science is serving an ideology? Take heed not be deceived people.
@@MrWookie21Sounds like the church has being mentally impregnating its ideologies on you. And you’re right about ideologies causing prejudice when their intent is to impose it on others. The “church” has been making a concerted effort of it lately. You’re welcome to live in your own bubble, the rest of us appreciate this man’s knowledge and the clear way he’s sharing it.
Thank you! I finally found a Blueberry pruning video that explains all my pruning concerns, and is easy to understand. I'm saving this one to my Garden Tips Playlist so I can brush up just before pruning time.
Thank you for sharing this! This is the first video about blueberry pruning I’ve watched that’s made it all make sense. The 3-year stage demonstration was so helpful!
A well done and very clear explanation of blueberry pruning. When I look at my blueberry bushes and their twiggy brushy tops covered with blossoms, I find it difficult to prune them. But after watching this video, and thinking about the small fruit they produce each year ...I think I will now find it much easier to make the necessary pruning cuts.
This is an excellent video. I learned so much. The illustrations and pictures were perfect. Bill, from one teacher to another, you are very talented and I appreciate your sharing your knowledge with the world. Now off to prune my berries...
Was a little worried when this video looked like a slide show, but the photos and especially the labeling and side by side comparisons along side the voice over worked really well! I really appreciate going from a new plant on through the whole cycle. The other instructions or videos I've looked at so far haven't addressed the first few years of growing/pruning. Idk what I'm doing over here and I think this particular video was really helpful! Thanks!
I concur with the many comments. This is a very well done video. The best on the subject. The use of graphics and the real plants was excellent. Using the white wall behind the plants was extremely helpful. Thank you very much for for planning how to present the very useful information so well!
Thank you. We inherited my dad's property along with 10 huge blueberry bushes that have never been pruned. We have been harvesting so many berries this year but there are so many tiny branches to move through to get to the biggest berries and they are at least 11' tall. So many berries will be lost because we can't reach them. This has helped me so much because I was thinking after watching other videos that we could start pruning after the berries were harvested. Thanks to this video I can safely wait until Jan-Feb to prune them since we are located between Winston and Statesville so they wouldn't have time for growth to harden off like a coastal area. Truly appreciate this video showing me exactly the limbs to remove since I just saw them and the effects of leaving them alone for so long!
Thank you so much for this video. Being a new blueberry grower (although a gardener for 50 years), I wanted to find the best pruning for my bushes. You have told me exactly what I need to know in the simplest way. I am very grateful for this so thank you again. (From the UK)
It took years of research, trial and working with the soil to grow a successful patch. As the bushes got older I realized the bushes needed pruning but I wasn't sure exactly what to do with confidence. Thanks for producing a very complete video with excellent illustrations. This is exactly what I needed to keep the patch heathy! I've never seen a better made video on Blueberry pruning.
By FAR the best video on pruning. Thank you. Clear & concise explanations and visuals to back them up. Showing the growth process of a single cane from summer thru fall, winter & pruning really made it easy to follow on my plants. I have come back for review several times. Thank you.
Hands down the best video on blueberry pruning! After 3 years of watching pruning videos, I finally found this one and feel like I finally understand the pruning mistakes I have been making. Thank you so much for posting this video.
I can't thank you enough for this. My wife and I bought a house with blueberry bushes that have gone out of control and have been unproductive. This video is exactly what we needed. I originally thought is was due to under fertilization. OOF! thanks again.
Excellent instructions and tips! My timing always seems to be off, so will be saving this and hope to find it early winter for pre-pruning lessons and next summer's success!
Great video thank you very much; this is my first year at pruning a young blueberry tree that has not fruited yet; so I look forward to this challenge🤗
Amazing and most helpful video I've ever seen. Just by watching this I feel like I'm a blueberry pro already. Now I know how to get the most out of my blueberry bushes.
A professional is just an unconscious slave formated to work in a monetized system belonging to demonic led spirits people. Pro, money & work are just ideas that have become ideology. They are just beliefs to take control on you. Do you really think money is the intercessor with God when you read "in God we trust" on a one dollar bill? Man...
Thank you for what would be the best and clearest tutorial on pruning blueberries efficiently. The illustrations were so helpful. My young plants thank you too 😅 Kayleen
This was by far the most informative and helpful video I’ve found on blueberry pruning. Thank you very much for the information in a way that was easy to understand and for the visuals!!
Thank you so much! I've bought 3 little blueberry bushes this summer and this video is the best and easiest to follow on how to care and maintain blueberry bushes! Greetings from Victoria , Australia! 🙋♀
Hey there Bill, we worked together in Castle Hayne back in the mid nineties. It’s time to prune my blueberry bushes and I forgot how to do it after all these years. Great video and nice to stumble upon you! 😎
This is super interesting. I started growing blueberries a year ago in the fall of 2023. I have some long chutes that have grown, and I debated pruning. I'm in Georgia and I started with a 1-gallon Pink Lemonade and a 3-gallon Premier. I was so excited when Spring came, and the flowers bloomed. I'm not sure what happened but I suspect that a late frost shocked and killed my Pink Lemonade. The Premier still grew a few berries; I think it wasn't self-fertile. I got myself another Pink Lemonade. During the hottest weeks of Summer, I watered with Fish Emulsion once a week. I was able to get some good vegetative growth and I hope that after Winter it will surprise me.
My Go To blueberry pruning vid used to University of Maine, it is great. However, this is a step above. Very nicely done. The diagrams are very easy to follow!
This was fantastic! I moved to a mountain homestead in New England November 2019 and realized this summer that the giant branchy bush at the top of my orchard is a very unkempt blueberry bush. The berries were tiny and not plentiful, but it’s good to know that is a pruning issue and not a cultivar problem! I will be getting to work on some pretty severe pruning.
Wish i had seen this long ago! The professional landscapern that sold and planted my bushes Ziad NEVER PRUNE THEM! It's not going into 4th spironolactone and we have NEVER gotten any fruit from any of the three bushes! Thank you for sharing!
I have a question. If the berries get progressively worse on each stem each year, would keeping only one year old stems be a viable strategy for quality berries?
Thank you! I have several bushes and they are pretty big but now in the 7th year I noticed some of my branches not really producing anymore. I was not sure on or if they needed pruned. Now I know. I still have a rather large crop on my bush and so far pretty nice sized berries. I did take shoots a couple of years back off the tops of some branches trying to get new plants started, but ALL failed and was not able to get a single one to root for some reason. Hopefully this year I will get a few to grow. Any videos you have on doing that and the best time? I'm in zone 8 NE TX.
Question about summer pruning. After the berries have been picked, what about culling out the old canes that would be taken out in later winter. Then energy goes into the growth of newer canes. Does this work? If not I'm assuming that the plant needs the energy from the old cane for winter root health? Any suggestions. Fantastic presentation
Great information. Thank you thank you thank you. Also what would cause the lack of shoots being put out from the plant? I have some 6 old ants that just won't throw new shoots. However first year I actually pruned back anything... No logic on my part I know. Thank you
Plant health is usually one reason for not many new shoots being produced (i.e. low fertility, lack of irrigation or presence of disease). Also if the are lots of very old stems that need to be removed that can result in fewer new shoots emerging each year.
I'm 23 and im pruning my parents bushes they planted when my brother was born in 1996 for the first time ever haha. They are insanely tall, dense, so many old thick canes. My loppers weren't sharp/strong enough for a lot of the canes but we'll get em lol
Thank you. My old neighbor was a horticulturist but he died and left behind bushes that grew to 10 feet high. The berries were huge and delicious. The man who lives there now, knows nothing about plants. What should I do? Can I sneak a cutting and start a new bush or two?
I bet your new neighbor would love to have you offer to prune his bushes - maybe in exchange for some yummy fruit or some canes for your yard. As I am learning to prune the various bushes/fruit trees in my yard, my neighbor friend lets me do some of hers too. It's so fun. I have come to LOVE pruning. As she is learning a lot too.
When pruning Rabbiteye variety should you cut old canes to the ground level or higher up that old cane? That is, does the new whip grow better at ground level from the roots; or from a node on the stub of a cane pruned above ground?
On very old canes (more than 5-7 years old) that have become un-productive and have twiggy growth it is better to remove the cane to the ground in winter. That being said renewal pruning (also called hedging) is sometimes done on Rabbiteyes to encourage new productive shoots in the upper canopy. This can be done in the Southeast US immediately after harvest (late July/early August). If done too late in the summer/ fall that plants will not produce new shoots and the plant will lose fruit production the following year.
