Pollination Info
Bushel and Berry® BerryBux® Blueberry Pollination
Bushel and Berry® BerryBux® Blueberrys are self-fertile. You will get fruit with only one plant. However, adding an additional Bushel and Berry® BerryBux® Blueberry will drastically increase the size of your crop.
Planting & Care
1. Planting: Plant the BerryBux® Blueberry plant in well-draining, acidic soil with a soil pH of 4.5 to 5.5 for best growth. Ideally, you should check the soil pH levels using a soil pH kit prior to planting the BerryBux® Blueberry plant because if the soil pH is not ideal, the plant will fail to grow well or produce berries.
Choose a place in the yard in full sun. Dig a hole that is twice as large as the plant's root system. Set the plant’s root ball into the hole and fill with soil. Press the soil down around the plant’s roots to firm and remove all air pockets.
Apply a three-inch layer of mulch around the BerryBux® Blueberry plant to inhibit unwanted weed growth and keep the soil moist.
2. Watering: The BerryBux® Blueberry plant does not tolerate drought. It requires moist soil to thrive. Water the plant at least once per week to keep the soil moist. Mulching can help retain soil moisture.
3. Fertilizing: Fertilize your BerryBux® Blueberry with an acid fertilizer such as those that are commonly used for rhododendrons and azaleas. Follow the directions on the fertilizer’s label for application ratios.
4. Pruning: Prune the BerryBux® Blueberry plant in the early spring. Remove all dead, damaged, and non-fruiting branches.
5. Pollination: The BerryBux® Blueberry is self-pollinating so you only need one to produce fruit.
