Planting Blueberry Bushes

Updated : May 8, 2020

51 Comments

Edible landscape plants are quickly becoming the hottest thing in gardening.  We are seeing a real trend with homeowners who are moving away from the traditional ornamental landscaping and opting for plants that provide food as well as beauty.

Blueberry bushes, with their antioxidant-rich berries and spectacular fall foliage, are becoming one of the most sought after plants in residential landscapes today.

21 Plants That Are Easy to Grow and Sell Like Crazy

Until the 20th century, blueberries could only be found in the wild.  They first became available commercially in 1916 and have since then become readily available for anyone who wants to grow them.

Planting blueberry bushes is breeze.

Blueberry bushes can be purchased bare root or already potted up from garden centers, big box stores, or online retailers. If your blueberry bush is bare root, its a good idea to soak it for about an hour prior to planting.

The first step in planting blueberries is to choose your location.  Blueberries require full sun.  They will not produce fruit unless they are receiving six to eight hours of sunshine each day.

Blueberries thrive in acidic soil.  They are happiest in sandy- loamy soil.  If you have clay soil, you can build a raised bed or you can plant in pots and containers.

Planting blueberry bushes in containers is a great way to control the pH of the soil.

Acidic soil is important to the fruit production of your blueberry bush.  What good is a blueberry bush that doesn’t produce berries?  Adding elemental sulfur is one way to make your soil more acidic.  It can be found at most gardening centers in pellet form.  Just mix it into your soil.

Sulfur is not water soluble so there is no need to worry about the rain washing it away.  (An added bonus:  If you have pets, sulfur helps repel fleas from your yard.)  If your soil was not very acidic to begin with, a top dressing of sulfur around your blueberry bush every couple years will help it greatly.

You can also work some shredded oak leaves or pine needles into your soil to help lower the pH.  Aged saw dust, coffee grounds, vinegar/water solution and “rhododendron food” make good fertilizers.

Now its time to choose your blueberry plant.

In the wild, blueberry bushes thrive in the northeastern corner of the United States and upward into Canada.  All blueberries require a certain number of hours where the temperature falls between 33-45 degrees Fahrenheit or they will not produce berries the following season.

Blueberries have since been cultivated to grow in a much wider variety of climates based on their chilling requirements.  Here are the different types and what they mean to you:

Low Bush

Special: A Quick and Easy Way to Make Money at Home Growing Plants

Low bush blueberries were the most commonly found wild variety.  They have the longest chilling requirements and can usually be grown in zones 3-7.  If you are not sure which zone you are in, click here to find out.  They are creeping plants that grow about a foot or so high.  Plant them about 2 feet apart.

They should be cut to the ground every 2-3 years.  They will not produce fruit the year after cutting (so plan ahead if you want a continuous supply of berries).  Low bush blueberries are commonly found canned and packaged at the supermarket.  The berries tend to be a bit smaller than other varieties, but very sweet.

Blueberries from the grocery store are usually low bush varieties.

High Bush

High bush blueberries are the most common “garden” varieties.  Northern high bush varieties grow in zones 4-7.  Southern high bush varieties grow in zones 5-9.  Southern high Bush varieties tend to have have smaller berries than the Northern high bush varieties, but they are much more heat tolerant.

High bush blueberry plants grow to an average height of 6-8 feet.  Sometimes they will grow as high as 12 feet.  When planting, space them 3-4 feet apart.  Stems become unproductive after 6 years and should be pruned off.

Half- High

Half-high’s are a cross between high bush and low bush.  They grow in zones 3-7 and reach a height of 2-4 ft.

Rabbit Eye

Rabbit eye blueberries get their name because the berry turns a pink shade (like a rabbit’s eye) before ripening to blue.  Rabbit eye are low chill varieties suited for zones 7-9.  They can be grown in colder zones, but because of their low chilling requirements they are apt to produce berries early.

You might loose a crop to spring frost.  Rabbit eye blueberries are more tolerable of drought and poor soil conditions than the other varieties.  Surprising to most people, they are actually taller than the high bush varieties.  Rabbit eye, if left alone, can reach heights of 20 feet!

Pink Lemonade Blueberries are a rabbit eye variety that do not turn blue when ripe.

You will also find that blueberry plants are categorized by season.  This gives us an general idea of when to expect berries.

  • Early Season (June)
  • Mid Season (July)
  • Late Season (August)

When planting blueberry bushes, its often helpful to add some peat moss to the hole before placing your blueberry plant.  This helps with drainage and adds a little acidic boost.

Blueberry plants have shallow root systems.  They like a good supply of water (1-2 inches per week) but it should drain well.  Blueberries hate wet feet.  Soil should be moist, but well draining.  Blueberry leaves are a bit on the leathery side.  They don’t appear to dry out when your plant is thirsty.  You are more likely to notice branches drying out.

Your plant should require little to no pruning for the first 3 years.  Then you may begin pruning to shape or control your plant.  (Low bush varieties that need to be cut back every 2-3 years are the exception, of course).

Young plants may begin to fruit, but a blueberry bush will not be fully productive until it is 6-8 years old.  Pinch off all flowers until your plant is 2  1/2 feet high.  Allowing fruit will slow the growth of your blueberry bush.

Mature plants that are “over flowering” tend to produce smaller berries.  Pinch off some flowers for larger fruit.  Most blueberry bushes will continue to produce fruit for about 20 years.

Ripe blueberries are fully blue.  Once they are blue wait a couple days before picking them.  They will fill with water and swell about 35% larger.  Give the branch a gentle shake.  Only the ripe berries will fall into your hand.

Blueberries plants are a favorite of rabbits and deer.  Click here to read about how to keep deer and rabbits from ruining your plants.  A cage or net will help protect them from critters and hungry birds.

    Talking with a nursery in Toledo, they highly recommend Plantskydd for keeping rabbits and deer away from eating any plants. They said the only thing that truly works. A mixture of dried cow blood and veggie oil. A dry product, mixed with water and sprayed on plants and ground around plants. They do not like the smell of blood, but of course won’t work for raccoons like for growing corn. Nursery said they spray about every 2-3 months with the veggie oil helping to stay put thru rain. But using it myself in a pressure sprayer, it’s best to mix well the day before letting more of the solid particles to dissolve and then strain to remove the rest of solid particles from plugging spray tip. Nursery uses a back pack sprayer because of the amount of contracted out jobs they have for folks with large flower garden and trees, landscapes. And too, as new leaves grow out, need to spray them too. I’ve found that when the buds start to form, spray the plants. If sprayed well, it will keep the critters at bay until after leaves pop to spray again. If done right, Plantskydd works great.

    Hi Mike, I just love you and your family and all of the tricks and plants I have gotten from you. I had blueberrie and raspberrie bushes and some of them overtook the back fencing area, one day when I was away a nasty neighbor we once had ripped out my berrie bushes and now I am ready to replant. Is it too last to plant now in late May or so and where can I get some of the blueberry bushes. They were thornless too and really great and I want to do this again soon. My best and thanks for all your wise and wonderful help. Sincerely, Rose Marie Marmolejo

    I live in northern Massachusetts & have 6 TALL (6 foot’) wild blueberry bushes. The size is small but the taste is so sweet! I use sewing netting to keep the birds away. It’s usually used for kids’ costumes & decorating. This fabric is 60″ wide, in lots of colors, and cheap. I paid $0.15 a yard on sale. Clothes pins & gravity hold it in place on the ends of the branches.. It’s EASY to slip aside to get at the berries, & then re-pin it.. No cage required. And it can be used for several seasons if you’re careful about the final removal. I prune the dead branches & keep it reachable in height for next year once all the berries are done, Picking in July gives me quiet time to myself. And there’s nothing better than hot blueberry muffins in January during a raging blizzard.

    Hi Mike, enjoy your shows. We just had a wind storm that broke off my bluberry plant (that was so healthy looking) right at the base.. I have it in some water for now.. but would like to see if I can root it. It is late in the season, but thought I might put some rootone on it and shove it in my compost pile.. what do you think? In Wa state we don’t get much rain all year, but this is our wet season. if I Put them on the top of the hill of compost.. that should be plenty of drainage. comments?

    I have some questions: How long do the cutting take to root? I cut them in the middle of June.
    Do you transplant them into pots or just put them in the ground where you plan to put them?

      If you take cuttings now they should be rooted in about 6 weeks. In most cases plants grow better in the ground and are really easier to care for.

    As growth pushed the heritage blueberry farms out of suburban Seattle area, I managed to purchase some of the bushes. I have two bushes that are now more than 150 years old. From another farm I picked up several bushes that are more than 60 years old. All are still bearing strong. With pruning, good compost and soil, they produce equal or better than the newer bushes that are 6-10 years old. I’ve seen other comments of bearing for 20 years, but the older bushes support new growth from throughout the much larger root ball.

        We lost our bushes in the mid 1980’s. Not sure why. They were planted before 1950. Don’t know when because my grandparents purchased thehouse in 1950 and the bushes were already there. They were 40 plus years old and producing! I don’t understand why so many resources say they last 20 years or so when clearly some folks claim 40 50 60 yrs, etc

      Don’t transplant until the cuttings are well rooted. Do as many cuttings as you can as softwood cuttings starting in June throughout the summer. The harder the wood the longer it takes to root.

    Here in coastal Southern California we are blessed with several recently-developed blueberry cultivars that do not require cold winter themperatures to produce copious amounts of fruit. These variaties have made California one of the biggest blueberry-producing states in the U.S.

    I have planted many here with great success. The main problem is that squirrels, grasshoppers, and other pests love to eat the plants.

    We have some Peach Sorbet and some Pink Lemonade Blueberry bushes in our back yard. We also have a few dozen Apache Blackberry bushes we planted last fall. The Apaches are coming in like gangbusters. They seem to love the sandy soil here in coastal South Carolina.

    What I love about the Apache Blackberry bush is that they stand erect. No vines and having to build a trellis.

    Good advice in the article, but one warning for anyone planning to take cuttings of blueberries for sale – please do check your local laws regarding the sale of fruiting plants. In many jurisdictions there are national or State restrictions on the propogation, growing-on, or sale of commercially important plants like raspberry, currents, apples, and yes, blueberries. Commonly to do so legally you will need to arrange to be inspected.

    It’s probably wise for regulators to do this but it is a nuisance, and people should be aware of this if they are not just growing blueberries for their own use.

    I have about 75 blueberry plants that are about 35 years old. They produce about 800# of blueberries per season. The secret to longevity is in the pruning. If you prune out one third of the old stems each year you will have rejuvenated the plant in three years. I have Blue Ray and Bluecrop varieties and both do well in our southern Indiana clay soil that has been amended with elemental sulfur. I mulch with leaves each fall..
