How to Plant Blueberry Bushes
The thing about growing blueberry bushes is that they continuously expand and tend to grow so much that their own strains can not sustain the weight of their fruit canes. Blueberry bushes should have one or two extra fruits each year. The allowed number of fruits per one bush is fifteen to sixteen, so, if we do the math this means each bush can normally evolve for only seven to eight years. It is easy to keep the bushes in line though, doing just a bit of trimming after the first years have passed. Specialized gardeners recommend cutting off the largest and oldest canes after the maximum number of fruits was reached each year. This means that basically, in the 8th year you will have to cut off the fruits that first appeared the first two or three, depending on the size of the bush.
Blueberry bushes have to be planted in rows, at least 6 feet apart of each other. The earth they are plated in must have a PH equivalent of 5 and it has to be well irrigated. Each plant will be planted into the soil in deep, wide holes. The planting procedure goes like this:
- Dig a square whole of 15 inches deep and 15 inches wide.
- Then fill it up with moisturizing soil until you reach the top area.
- Stop at about 4 inches from the top of the hole.
- Take each blueberry bush and fit the roots well into the special soil compound.
- Plant each bush at half a meter distance in every row.
- Cover the compound with fine sand, but leave 4 inches from the top in each hole, and be careful to keep it that way over the years.
After planting the bushes you will need constant watering because their roots are much thinner than those of other plants and they can not retain as much water as others. The plants will be watered every three days with a water volume of at least 1 inch, deep over the entire length of a row. Too much water can also be harmful for blueberries, so be careful in wet seasons. After September, the rains should set in and the earth should become wet enough to sustain the watering needs of the plants for itself. So, in normal conditions, watering is not recommended during this season.
Blueberry bushes will grow nicely if watered and trimmed right, and in general they are plants that do not pose many problems and can be kept around for many years, keeping in mind the fact that they become very productive only after their first 3-4 years of life.
