Gardening Know How Questions & Answers - https://questions.gardeningknowhow.comJust bought the blueberry bush on sale from the grocery store. It looked healthy but wasn’t bushy. My dog got it, ran around with it breaking the top off the root ball. I put the top in water & sniped off the small lower leaves, stems are about 14″ tall. *Anything else I should do to save it?
