Blueberry bush question.
Hi all,
my blueberry bush buds have just started to open and the leaves are spreading out. Some of the leaves are brown and curling at the ends. What could be causing this. Thanks for your time S |

Thanks for your time S Where do you live? What sort of weather have you been having? How are you growing them - in the ground, in shade, in full sun, in pots, in what kind of compost? How are you watering them? How old are the plants? -- Sacha http://www.hillhousenursery.co.uk South Devon 'We do not inherit the earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children.' |

Thanks for the reply,
i live in north west england, as im sure you know we have been having wet windy weather. Im growing them in pots with multi purpose compost. they get sun in the morning till about 12 then shade. i bought the plant in feb of this year. Its got lots of buds and is looking quite healthy. i water them when they are just about moist but not too wet. Hope this helps. Thanks again S |

Thanks again S I think the multi purpose compost you're using might be the problem, as Blueberries like acid soils (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ Ericaceae) Repotting in ericaceous (or Rhododendron) compost might help. That's what I've got mine in and they seem to be doing ok so far. Wedge |
