Remove First Year Blueberry Blooms
I've read where I should remove the first (sometimes second) year
blooms on newly planted two year old blueberry plants. Is this really necessary? They are in full bloom, and I would really hate to remove the blooms. But, if it's best, then I will do so. |

People are incouraged to cut off the blooms to direct the plants attention and engery in foliage and root production instead of fruit production. As long as the shrub looks healthy and you have a good nutritional supplement (fertilizer) to give it.... you should do fine. Good luck and enjoy your blueberry crop! -- http://yard-works.netfirms.com |

I read somewhere that cactus come from outer space.
Don't believe everything you read. Leave the plants alone. If you are that anal compulsive, you may as well get ready for the next full moon so you can do the fertility dance on your front yard completely naked. If you believe strong enough, that will ensure a good crop this season. At least that's what you can tell the judge after the cops take you away and lock you up!!! Do you Yahoo?

Greg,
I leave my plants alone and have good results. Greg wrote: I've read where I should remove the first (sometimes second) year blooms on newly planted two year old blueberry plants.

Greg,
I leave my plants alone and have good results. Also, please remember that a blueberry bush does not come into full production until about its sixth year. So don't think that you have done anything wrong when your yields are low. Good luck.

Remove First Year Blueberry Blooms
Thanks to all who replied except Cereoid+10+, who's message I will
completely ignore. Why is it that there is always someone out there who just has to give a smart #@! answer? I usually ignore trolls like this, but this time I just had to say something (must be the coming full moon). And Yes Cereoid+10+, I do Yahoo, if you are referring to my email address. I do this to keep trolls like you from sending SPAM to my ISP mailbox. Instead, Yahoo receives all the junk mail. Again, thanks for the replies. I think I'll leave the blooms.
