I ā¤ļø blueberries! I eat them most everyday! They are great in oatmeal, cereal, salads, smoothies, pies, Ad infinitum⦠Blueberries rock!!! They are also a native fruit that grows well in many areas.
Blueberries are a very rewarding plant. Beautiful, hardy & the fruit is so good! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
Here in the South with our long growing season & plentiful rainfall, growing blueberries is a āno-brainerā⦠Sure, I plant them in the field or around the orchard, but I also LOVE to use them as ornamental Landscape plantings! They make great fill in plants along a sunny foundation or a backdrop for a bird feeding area or even as a screening hedge! Blueberries are Very versatile š
Tips for Growing ā
ā One of theĀ most important things to remember when growing blueberries is that they demand a very lowĀ PH (acidic 4.5 ā 5.5 or so)Ā to grow well & thrive. So yearly you have to check PH and add an acidifier like Sulfur, Aluminum Sulfate, Ammonium Sulfate, etc⦠I usually opt for the organic sulfur because I am eating theseĀ šĀ AND, I think it gives a better, sweeter taste.
I recommend using an Organic Acidifier (Sulfur) to keep the PH low. This will make for healthy, vigorous Blueberries, that just taste great! | Carters Nursery, Pond & Patio | Jackson, TN
ā If your planting Blueberries in our area, initial soil prep is key! Build up beds a little to aid in drainage. Till in some sand, peat and organic compost. Apply sulfur as needed based on PH test.
ā Planting the right variety is huge!
Always choose Southern Rabbit eye varieties for success in W. TN. A few of my favorites are ā Premier, Tifblue, Powder Blue &Ā Climax. Fertilize with an organic fertilizer for fruit inĀ late Winter/earlyĀ Spring. Then IĀ feed several times throughout the season with an organic compost tea and side dress mid seasonĀ with a little composted manure.Ā Mulching is very important too! Try crushed pine bark or pine needles. Both are acidic and work well.
