Blueberry - Misty (Cutting) ^9/10

Amanda's Edible Fruits
Update: 2565 days 10hrs

Comments: - This variety seems to be more tolerant of our sandy soils here in WA - and I have found it performs the best in our heat and with the slightly limey bore water. It is a Californian bred variety so perhaps that is why. Fruits very well. I apply sulphur (sand-grain size) in late winter, to help keep an acid pH in the soil. Sometimes I use iron sulphate during the year also. We have one Sharpe Blue to assist with cross pollination and it prefers to be in a more shady spot, I have found I have trouble getting them to push vigorous new canes - to replace the old growth.
No Nitrates for blueberries - as they have limited nitrate reductase enzymes to break it down. I use ammonium forms - which are also acidifying, which is what blueberries like also.

Planted: 2012

Height 1.5 metres

Growing: In the Ground

Qty: 3

Question: How can I force them to push new vigorous canes?

New plant purchased via mail order in 2009. Large quantity of cow manure added to sandy soil sodium bentonite (clay, stock feed) for moisture/prevent water repellency. Pine needle mulch flowers of sulphur to decrease soil pH (Blueberries like acid soils).

Update 2012 blueberries continue to do well- particularly Misty Blue and Nelly Kelly

Planted: 2009

I have one in a half wine barrel which receives shade on the east side from an apricot and on the west side by an orange. The second one that was in a wine barrel was not sheltered on the east and didn't do as well. It's since been transferred to the side of the house (in what used to be----- or is still somewhat- the fernery)

Blueberry - Sharpblue

Brad1's Edible Fruits
Update: 5723 days 5hrs

Comments: -

Labelled as Sharpe. Bought in small pot Dec 2009. Potted up Dec 22 (the rightmost plant). Mix of commercial grade unfertilized potting mix, peat conditioning mix (~half-half), plus some zeolite, spongelite, cow manure, pine fines, coffee grounds and a final squirt of lemon juice. Have azalea slow release fertilizer for use when its adjusted to the new pot. Some leaf damage jan 2010 - maybe a grasshopper? Flowering August 2010, was a bit late with fungicide spray. Still young, so thinned fruit and flowers mid september, only leaving a handful to taste.

Bought in mid size pot Dec 2009. Potted up Dec 22. Mix of commercial grade unfertilized potting mix, peat conditioning mix (~half-half), plus some zeolite, spongelite, cow manure, pine fines, coffee grounds and a final squirt of lemon juice.

The other two are flowering in august 2010, this still looks like brown twigs with poor looking buds. Might not be happy
