What amazing set of pruning with writing that i came across, its just wonderfully clear and so easy to understand.

This could be a self-grown crane cutting, or a bought plug or even a potted plant you got from the garden center, even if bigger, it should be treated the same, never allowed to fruit the year you bought it, if it has fruit on it, take it off when you get it home!

Now is the winter to figure out if you planted it in the right spot, did you have good growth, did it get enough sun, did it get wind burned or did it get planted to close to something that rapidly outgrew it? If you do need to adjust, this is the year to do it.. If not, its a basic clean up and shaping time and if it loved where was at and grew really well, you can even get some fruit.

After three years, you are set to go with your low bush or high bush blueberry for the next 15 to 20 years, these are productive long lived fruit producers.

Got a bush that loves your area and that you adore the fruit on, remember you can keep some of your best trimmings and use them to start new bushes at a fraction of the cost for yourself or to be sold at the end of the farmgate or at the local community garden plant sale or gifted to someone to help build your local community food shed
