FINAL REMINDER! Prune blueberries before AUGUST 1 to ensure flower buds will have time to mature before the onset of fall and winter.

There are a few different ways to prune blueberries, depending on what you want to achieve with your plants. But the most important thing is to prune each year after harvest. Pruning creates new wood where flower buds develop.

Pruning is a stress on the bush, so keep them watered and fertilized to make sure they recover and continue to grow at the right rate.

The best way to determine what kind and how much fertilizer to use is to do a soil test. For the best results, pull samples from underneath the bushes. (MSU Extension offers soil testing. Contact your county’s MSU Extension office for details.)
