Blueberry help please
I have 8 blueberry plants, only 1 has leaves that have curled under for quite some time. It's looks healthy, no discoloration on any leaves, and there are none of those caterpillar type bugs that cause other leaves to curl up, like on eggplants. This pot is in the same area as the others, gets the same amount of water and sun. Any ideas?
Also, this past year has not been a good one for fruit production. The unexpected early heat waves caused ALL the flowers to drop, so I got zero blueberries (well, maybe 6 ). What is the secret to having lush foliage and tons of fruit next year, in the event we'll have normal weather again? The varieties are Sunshine Blue, Misty and O'Neal. They are planted in acid-loving mix with added peat, and a little small bark and perlite. They get the appropriate acid-loving fert 2-3 times a year and are all approx. 3 yrs old in 10-15 gal pots. I searched online first, geez, never knew there was a marijuana strain named Blueberry . Guess MJs get curling leaves too! |
