One of my Blueberry bushes

New growth.



Hope we get some fruit this year now into her 2nd year.

 

There's a coincidence. I was just looking at ours today and pointing out the new growth to Mrs W. Gave it a feed to encourage it. Ours is now a four or five year old and cropped very well last year and we were picking the berries for several weeks.

 

Dave sounds hopeful for mine then.

What a beautiful day we have had very mild indeed.

 

Is your pot big enough, Scotkat? I've read that it needs to be approx the size of a dustbin...?

 

Hi guys, just looking for a thread about Blueberries. Mine are just starting to flower. There are no pollinating insects about at the moment. Are they self-pollinating, self-fertile, or what? Do I tap them like you do with Tomatoes? I can't hand-pollinate with those type of flowers. I've "Googled" this and can't come up with an answer. HELP :confused:

 

I can't answer that Cajary, but will give this a bounce up the board in case someone else can...

 

No Cajary. They benefit from cross pollination. Believe it or not there are a few insects about on calmer days. This link may help a little:
