Pruning Old Blueberry Bush

Question

Moved into present location 1 1/2 years ago. It has two very old blueberry bushes. They are very bushy and one is about 8-10 feet tall. I have pruned out the old stuff. They have some new canes, very tall. Can I cut the very tall older canes and the newer canes that have buds on them back to 5-6 feet tall without killing the plant? I would like to also get some berries this year if possible.

Answer 1

You can cut back the plant, but I would not do so all at once. Every year, cut back no more than 1/3 of the oldest canes, until you have got the plant back to a manageable size. Here is more information on pruning blueberries:
