I was given a single blueberry plant several years ago but I
understand that several plants are needed to achieve pollination. Is
it possible I could split this root-ball up to produce the several
necessary plants? It seems to be a late summer variety. Since I
don't know what variety it is I don't know how I would buy more of
them.


Splitting the plant won't help, you must have a different variety.
Knowing what genus you have would be helpful. Where are you and at
what elevation?


If he were to go buy 2 bushes that do well in his climate he'd be certain
to have a different variety for polination . One of our local groceries has
a very nice nursery - with a very knowledgeable young lady to help . Davej ,
I'd bet you have a place with a very knowledgeable person near you too . Use
their knowledge , and buy from them .
