Do you have a peat bog or swamp to plant them in? What
soil pH do highbush blues need?



Blueberries don't need a peat bog or swamp, they hate standing water
and soggy feet. Have you ever seen a pine barren? Hardly a swamp.


They do need a soil that has a pH around 4.5-5.0 though to really
thrive. Our soil is close to neutral so I have to amend it annually to
drop the pH.
