Pre-treatment Required

Blueberries do best in acidic soils with the optimum soil pH being 4.5 to 5.0, but plants usually do fine a little above or below this range. If pH is above 5.5, leaves become chlorotic and plants lose vigor. Very acidic soils (pH 4.0) can also reduce growth, particularly those with significant amounts of clay. These plants will benefit from the addition of compost, leaf litter, and pine needles.

Wild blueberry can be difficult to grow from seed and may take multiple seasons to germinate. It may also take up to 3 years for plants to produce fruit.
