Vaccinium spp., commonly known as blueberry, is a deciduous fruiting shrub prized for its sweet, antioxidant-rich berries and brilliant fall foliage. Fun fact: blueberry plants can remain productive for 30–50 years with proper care, making them one of the longest-lived fruit crops for home gardens. Their spring flowers also provide an excellent nectar source for pollinators.
Care Needs:
• Light: Full sun
• Water: Keep soil consistently moist but well-drained, especially during flowering and fruit development
• Pruning: Prune in late winter while dormant to remove old, weak, or damaged canes and encourage vigorous new growth
• Fertilizer: Apply a fertilizer formulated for acid-loving plants in early spring and again after harvest if needed
