What is the pH of the soil in the pot that contains the blueberry? They
prefer 4.5, but will produce at 6 or below. If it gets very much higher
than 7.5 the plants could die. I'm not sure if that is what got mine, but
they all died within 2 years and our pH here is 7 to 7.5. I tried to amend
it but didn't have much luck.

aftr much discussion here, I planted a Northland blueberry bush in a pot.
It has produced lots of flowers, but none have resulted in fruit - they
are starting to go brown and drop off. It is too early for the bees etc to
be out of their beds doing their work, or could it be that the pot it
right next to another which has loads of mint in it ? Could the scent be
keeping the bees ect away ?

(I know its recommended to have two species of blueberry bush near each
other for cross polination - but I dont have room. I have been assured
that one bush should be more than capable of producing lots of fruit)
