blueberry flowers no fruit

Patricia Dunn starts with ... Just wondering why this time, after a very successful earlier fruiting, the flowers on my (unfortunately forgotten what type) blueberry are falling off without fruit forming. Is that normal at the start of the fruiting season?	About the Author Patricia Dunn Hendra Brisbane 26th April 2016 9:35am #UserID: 13804 Posts: 1 View All Patricia Dunn's Edible Fruit Trees

It could be normal, the petals can fall off before the fruit is very visible. http://msue.anr.msu.edu/topic/blueberries/growing_blueberries/growth_stages_table If it's not, causes of blossom drop I know of are similar to other plants; potassium deficiency, phosphorus deficiency, nitrogen overdose, dehydration stress, heat stress, wind stress, pH stress (bluberries want acidic soil), and missing pollination. Any ideas? How does the weather this season compare to last season? What have you fed it?
