May 31, 2016Q.Companion planting
I was thinking of planting blueberries across the front of my yard to create a bit of a barrier. It's a high traffic area and a fence was too expensive and a bit impractical. I know that the plants have to be about 4 feet apart. Is there something that would go nicely between them to fill in the barrier? I much prefer landscaping with edibles to merely decorative plants.

June 2, 2016A.Blueberries do well with many companion plants. I actually have parsley planted between my 4 bushes. Rhubarb would look great along side blueberry bushes as well and they enjoy the same soil type. I've attached a great link about edible companion planting. Hope this helps.

June 25, 2016A.You may be growing a late variety.
Make sure the plants are getting plenty of full sun and even watering.

June 28, 2016Q.where to grow blueberries
My name is Sanahin Tikranian and I live in Iran. I was looking for some information regarding producing blueberry. I have been thinking of producing blueberry for a few years and now I have made my mind to do so. I have ordered around 1500 bushes of blueberry but I have some problems in choosing the right place to grow them. I was hoping you, as an expert in this area, could help me. Here are some of my questions: 1. What are the most important criteria in site selection (for the farm)? 2. On average, how many sunny days are required and, in general, what kind of climate is required for producing blueberries? 3. In what altitude should the farm be located? 4. What is the minimum temperature that berries can tolerate? I will appreciate it a lot if you could help me and share this information with me.

I have two blueberry plants. Both look healthy and growing rapidly. The one is sprouting delicious blueberries every day. Although the other plant has many sprouted berries, they are green and not ripening. The plants are side by side with plenty of light.

July 5, 2016A.Blueberries need full sun for fruit to ripen, even as much as 12 hours of sunlight is great for producing and ripening good Blueberries.
Refresh yourself on the care requirements in the links below and if you continue to have issues with your plants, a soil test will help you determine if soil nutrients are needed.https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/edible/fruits/blueberries/growing-blueberry.htm
