Caring For Your Blueberry Plants – Pruning & Other Tips!
Pruning is an important part of caring for your blueberries. It helps to maintain the plant’s shape and also removes dead wood, which can harbor disease. Pruning can be done at any time of the year, but it is best to do it in late winter or early spring before new growth starts.
Step 1: Gather your shears and a sharp knife. Use shears to remove any spindly branches or dead wood that is touching the soil or growing around the plant. Cut off any branches that are too close to the soil and have not produced fruit in at least 2 years.
Step 2: Leave 6-12 inches of stem on each side of the plant. You should leave 3-6 inches between each branch and any other branches on the same plant.
Step 3: Cut off any dead wood, including stems that are touching the soil or have fallen over.
Step 4: Trim back your new branches so they are not touching each other or anything else on the plant.
