Features of care

To obtain high yields, blueberry seedlings should be planted in areas with plenty of light. The blueberry root system consists mainly of delicate, thin roots, which are 80% very close to the surface. Due to the lack of root hairs, they have a relatively low absorption capacity. Blueberry roots are not able to overcome dense soil surfaces and require loose and well-drained soils, with a good content of organic matter (3% to 5%) and acidity (pH) 4.5 -5.0.

Most soils do not fit these parameters, but site conditions can be improved with varying variations in soil texture and acidity. For example, introducing peat into planting trenches with the further formation of ridges 1 m wide and up to 50 cm high.

The soil must be constantly moistened. Lack of moisture can cause a decrease in fruiting and even death of the plant. Excessive watering is also unacceptable. Blueberries do not need shelter for the winter. Some of its varieties are able to tolerate temperatures down to -28 degrees and below.

We will help you choose blueberry seedlings that will produce a bountiful harvest of sweet and large berries. Our specialists will help you with the choice of variety and other necessary conditions.
