Blueberry Bushes Leaves Are Curling Up and Turning Brown

Question

I have been watering the bushes. This is their first year planted and it has been very dry. I also have been using a once-a-month acid fertilizer on them. What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

I would pull back on the fertilizing. It may be burning the new roots that the plant is growing. Resume fertilizing when you see new growth.

The plant may also be in transplant shock. This article will help with that:
