    Both are self fertile, but the production will increase with the introduction of separate cultivars. It is not completely necessary, but it does increase their output, significantly.

    Sometimes, it can help your blueberry plant to apply a little iron sulfate, and even molasses can help feed your microbiome, which will in turn feed your plants to be sweeter.

    If you have planted a bulb, then there may have been a packaging error. Blueberries will not produce a bulb.

    I will need quite a bit of information to be able to give you a good solution. What is your USDA climate zone? At what time of year are you attempting to plant? How did you come across the plants?

    There are many, many factors that could be the reason for the failure to thrive. As much description as you can offer will help me to give you the best diagnosis possible.

    Can you tell me what you have planted your blueberry in? These require very specific fertilization, and acidic pH. Planting in something rich in ammonium nitrate, such as MiracleGro will destroy a blueberry bush. Can you give me a little info on its growing conditions, fertilization routine, and when you started noticing this?

    It is, more than likely, a nutrient problem. What kind of nutrients, or soil do you use? Blueberries cannot thrive in most soils fertilized with ammonium nitrate. Instead, they rely on ammonium sulfate for their nitrogen. This can also be caused by the soil being too alkaline. The correct fertilizer and soil will compensate, and make the soil acidic for them.
