Bud Set Has Begun!
After harvest, blueberry plants begin preparing for next season. Flower-bud development starts near the tip of each shoot and gradually progresses downward.
Over the next several weeks, the flower buds will become larger and rounder, while the smaller, pointed buds will develop into leaves and new shoots.
Good soil moisture, healthy leaves and proper nutrition during this period are important because the buds forming now will produce next year’s blueberry crop.
Adding kelp to the mix from Cascadia Seaweed is great and some more nutrients from TerraLink Horticulture Inc.
The work for next season has already begun!
