How to grow
Blueberries require a sunny spot with well-drained, acidic soil (pH between 4.5 and 5.5). They don’t tolerate waterlogged soil, so choose a location with good drainage.
Blueberries need acidic soil, so it’s important to amend your soil before planting. If your garden soil is too alkaline (pH above 7), follow these steps:
Blueberries have shallow roots and prefer consistent moisture, but they do not like being waterlogged. Water regularly, especially during dry periods, and use rainwater if possible, as tap water can be alkaline.
Blueberries are sensitive to fertilisers, so use a specialist ericaceous (acid-loving) fertiliser in early spring. Be cautious not to over-fertilise, as this can lead to poor fruiting.
Pruning helps blueberries grow strong and productive. The best time to prune is in late winter or early spring before new growth begins.
Blueberries are generally pest-resistant but can be susceptible to fungal diseases like powdery mildew or root rot in overly wet conditions. Common pests include aphids and birds.
Blueberries typically start producing fruit in the second or third year after planting. They ripen over a few weeks, so you’ll need to pick them in stages.
Blueberries are hardy, but in particularly cold winters, you may want to protect the plants from frost.
Guide To Plant Sizes
Our fruit comes in a wide range of sizes to suits your style and budget. 9cm pots are young plants offering great value and will need to be potted in larger pots to grow on. Plants in 1L to 5L pots are more mature and can be planted straight into their final position. The larger pots are more mature plants, which will produce more fruit in their first season.
