Pruning: Prune your blueberry bushes annually in late winter to remove dead or weak growth. This helps maintain shape and encourages new growth. Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around the base of your blueberry plants to conserve moisture, regulate soil temperature, and deter weeds. Protection: Protect your blueberries from birds by using netting or bird scare devices during the fruiting season. Monitoring pH: Regularly check the soil pH with a test kit and adjust it as needed to keep it within the optimal range.
