BlackThumbed starts with ... Hi, I have some 'Blue Rose' blueberries i bought from bunnings in 2015. When i bought them there were no flowers or anything (it was around december) and two years later i still haven't gotten any flower buds and only minimal growth. Can anyone please help me figure out why? I have an acid, slightly clay soil and have added well rotted compost, potash etc. Should i just start over?

MyrtleTurtle says... From the text it seems you have more than one plant of the same cultivar. You should get differ cultivars so as to benefit from cross-pollination. Blueberries like damp conditions, not sure if that was your problem. Also need good sun. You are also only 5km from the sea, which means you are not getting a whole lot of chill hours which blueberries need. Blue Rose and other Northern Highbush types require the most hours of chill. Good luck | About the Author MyrtleTurtle Eastern Seaboard 5th November 2017 10:03pm #UserID: 6913 Posts: 46 View All MyrtleTurtle's Edible Fruit Trees |
