I'm in california and I have had 2 blueberry plants for 5+ years. my tips 1. grow in pots not in ground. 2. use at least 50% Peat moss soil (they need the PH peat provides). 3. I fertilize once a month spring- summer with miracle grow shake n feed. They have been super easy to grow! The real trick is to use Pots and Peat moss.

Here in my HOA, everyone has these ugly, ratty bushes around their homes, and I always think...why can't you rip them out and put blueberries around your house? They're beautiful bushes, and you get blueberries out of the deal!

But alteady so much has become more clear. Keep up the good work! Have you ever propagated from cuttings?

Wondering if you have explored this?

You were right. Tons of info on BB's and well explained. I don't know how you could go wrong selecting and growing after that. We have about 8-10 bushes (rabbit eye - zone 8b) that have produced super for us the last several years and we rely heavily on the pine chips as a mulch. They purely love anything PINE - chips, bark, needles you name it. Nice job on the video again.
@TheMillennialGardener
@TheMillennialGardener 2 года назад
Thank you. I put a ton of effort into this one. Too many "Complete Guides" are very incomplete, and I really wanted to cover everything. Variety selection is walking a line between chill hours and bud break. It's often tempting to get low chill varieties "to be safe," but if the buds break too early, frost will kill the blooms. It definitely is a balancing act.
@gitatit4046
@gitatit4046 2 года назад
@@TheMillennialGardener I can tell you put a lot of effort into it and explained it so even I can grasp it :). As far as the chill hours vs bloom break that is definitely of high concern because even down here in 8b we still get frost nipped in early spring sometimes. So yeah as you say that's a real balancing act within itself.

Thanks for noting your results with pine needles. As a total newbie, I have heard mixed things from various videos (diluted vinegar is good/bad, pine needles are great/dried pine needles actually aren’t very acidifying, coffee ground do/don’t work). As the pine needle mulch is easy and agree this video shows a lot of thought and effort, I’ll give it a try.

I believe I’m in zone 10 B with six backyard raise beds growing mostly vegetables. I have two blueberry plants that I bought from my local nursery of different varieties that never get more than 2 feet tall and since I put them in the ground they’re not bearing fruit. I did take a big hole and mix in blueberry potting soil and plants produced a couple of blueberries last year and none this year. Thank you for Sharing your vast knowledge of planting

You are SO RIGHT ABOUT RESEARCHING CHILL HOURS! Because there's false chill hours being reported (like this map 4:37 says Tucson is "600" nope, realistically it's 300 sometimes only 250! Some sites say "400" -- that's not to say that once in a blue moon we MIGHT hit that but we need to plant items in the 150-250 range. How much $ I have wasted reading a plant needs 400-500 chill hours and that Tucson is 250 many years so NO FRUIT.

@TheMillennialGardener
@TheMillennialGardener 2 года назад
Compost is fantastic, but it just needs to be prepared beforehand. If you can build a mound, mix in elemental sulfur, top it with pine bark and let it sit for a few months to decompose and acidify, it could be an incredible growing environment. That's what I did. I put down compost months beforehand, added sulfur and pine bark around my house, and I let it break down for 8 months.

Yeah Buddy, you certainly made this detailed and well thought-out.

Still hovering around 6.2, but I know the sulfur I used will continue to bring the PH down over the summer. Liked and subscribed already Thanks for the info!
@TheMillennialGardener
@TheMillennialGardener 2 года назад
I'm glad to hear the video was helpful. That's great progress with the soil. As the ground heats up, the acidification should accelerate since the sulfur will be processed by the soil microbiology more quickly as temps increase. In the meantime, something like MiracleGro MirAcid can be a quick bridge to keep the plants healthy in the short-term while you work to long-term alter your soil with sulfur.

Be sure you have a variety that requires low chill hours and can tolerate warm summers (like a Southern Highbush or Rabbiteye). Best of luck!

I have a couple rabbiteye bushes here in southern Alabama. We only get around 600-700 chilling hours so I have to be careful about blueberry selection. I have Climax and Brightwell varieties, chosen for heat tolerance mostly. Brightwell produces larger, sweeter fruit but Climax grows better. Brightwell is said to split in wet weather but it rains a lot here and they seem fine. I recommend picking up Brightwell for a good tasting berry that grows in hot climates.

Rabbiteye are native to our general region, so they all mostly perform pretty well. My blueberries have been blooming since January, and none of the February or March freezes affected them. They're great plants.

This is an invaluable resource for anyone who wants to grow blueberries. I bought a few bushes in pots and some fruit buds have shown up. I am in the tropics and they are doing well since I got them. I got Emerald, Sharpblue and some lowbush ones as well. Thank you for such the helpful,in depth guide to blueberries I've seen anywhere! I just subscribed to your channel and look forward to more excellent content! PS Ferrous sulfate is also a good acidifier,I use it for miracle berry plants,it helps against chlorosis. And since bone meal is expensive in my area, I use Duofos. The cheapest pine bark I've found is marketed as reptile bedding but does just as well for plants. Can you please do a video on roses? Thank you

Your videos are great and encouraging, thank you. I am glad you discussed planting against your home and using the Blueberry as an alternative bush. Mentioning it is a shallow rooted plant that will not damage the house foundation was a great thing to hear. I am currently working with a company that develops fertilizers. They just had a farmer who had issues with his crop dying due to cow manure used as a fertilizer. How? After investigation, they tested the manure, and it contained the chemical found in Roundup. You mentioned using cow manure as a fertilizer. Please tell your audience that not all cow manure is created equal. Maybe do a segment on this potential issue. Thanks again!!!!

The challenge with growing blueberries is to pair them with your environment. A lot of people buy the blueberries that come in at Home Depot in April, but the truth is, they may be horrible varieties for your climate, because they just get whatever they get. Blueberries need to be carefully selected and special ordered from good nurseries. If you pair the right varieties for your climate, they will thrive.

G'Day from Australia, we spray white vinegar around soil of our blueberries they love it. We have done the concept of a forest garden, mulch, mulch & more mulch which breaks down really well. Our plants fend for themselves so they get the water from rain & in drought times we water. Give the odd seaweed solution & that's it. I have 4 varieties of blueberries along with fruit trees, strawberries, roses, lavender, herbs.

I bought a random blue berry plant from Lowe’s that I was already ab 1.5-2 ft and producing fruit, then I learned about all these things and bought two pink lemonades and some sulfer. I sure hope that they end up doing well. Thinking of keeping them in containers so I can take them with me if I move.

I have not considered growing bilberries. I've only heard them advertised as a supplement for night vision loss. I am not growing kiwi, but I am considering building an arbor in the future for vining crops, and kiwi's crossed my mind. I'm not a huge kiwi fan, but I like sharing 😀

Now is a good time to start preparing your soil by putting down some sulfur and pine bark mulch if you need to lower the soil pH. Let it decay for the fall while daytime temps are still warm enough, so now is the best time to prepare if necessary. Thanks for watching!
