Care Guide

Cultivation

Plant in a sheltered site in well-drained, moisture-retentive, acidic soil, (pH 4.5-5.5) in sun or part shade. Alternatively grow in containers or raised beds filled with ericaceous compost. Pot grown plants benefit from winter protection. For further cultivation details see blueberry cultivation

Pruning

More mature plants benefit from regular pruning, see blueberry pruning

Propagation

Propagate by softwood cuttings in late spring or semi-ripe cuttings in early summer

Pests

May be susceptible to vine weevil larvae damage especially if container grown. Protect ripening fruit with netting from birds.

Diseases

May be susceptible to powdery mildew and Phytophthora root rot. If grown in soil with pH higher than 5.5 chlorosis due to iron and manganese deficiency may be a problem – see nutrient deficiencies.
