Blueberry Plant Care Over Winter! You adult Blueberry plants can quickly become neglected because they are normally such a low-maintenance bush. They grow amazingly well all over North America, however, they do need to be maintained to achieve maximum results.
In this video, lets dig up a Blueberry Mother Plant that has become overrun with grass and weeds. Lets clean the soil from its root ball and then lets pot the plant up in its new home as we await for spring.
Now is the perfect time to give your neglected perennials that care they need as the long winter is behind us and bud burst is but a few days/weeks away!

We're right before bud burst for Blueberries and other perennials in the temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere….NOW is the time to recharge these plants to ensure maximum yields this coming growing season!
I have a mature high bush plant to move (4 or 5 feet tall & wide). I assume I should prune it back pretty hard? Any tips on moving a bigger one?
watching and archiving. Just planted ours! good to see your video!
Interesting, I didn't know about acidity in soil, that's good to keep in mind
Great video!!! What did you use for the mulch? I have Earthboxes and I'm trying to find something better to use other than the covers that they use. Thanking you in advance.
I'm new to you're channel but I like what I've seen . First thing you don't need my advice on plants, but you could use a nice trenching shovel with a D handle and the top edge bent over 90% with holes punched from the bottom up to provide grip on your shoe's sole . they are nice and narrow and maneuver in tight places and can go deeper because they are narrow. they are around $30.00 and worth the price. Good luck I'll be watching. Mike
Great vid Jeff! Always looking for gardening Channels in Canada as our weather / climate is so different then most of these YouTubers that live to the south of us.
Iam in Sask … your tshirt made me watch one of your videos. Can u guess which one lol. New sub! Keep them coming… love your content
Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for the video. I have a blueberry plant in a big pot for 4 years. Once I changed half of the soil with new special berry soil. Things were ok just for one year and since last year the leaves turned to light green and few buds . Can you recommend me how to fertilize it ? Surprisingly this year it is full of buds !! but still unhealthy leaves. Waiting for any tip.
Thanks in advance
Low bush blueberries don’t seem to have this problem because their soil acidity requirements are so high that most grass can’t stand it. A great example of this is if you look at main blueberry farms. They grow in massive fields where there are no real amendments done except for the biannual burning of the fields to prevent blueberry maggots. Those fields have little to no grass in them at all and just blueberries 🙂
I have chosen to plant haskap berry bushes and goji berry bushes instead of the blueberry bushes. Only because I have heard people complaining about blueberry bushes dying on them. On the other hand I have heard people complaining about haskap berry and goji berry plants growing too big despite a lack of care.
Thanks for this! I've got 3 varieties of blueberry coming in on the 20th so i found this helpful 🙂
Do you have any tips if my new blueberry plant has tons of flowers but not many leaves?
Where can I buy some of the amendments you mentioned? Love the videos btw!
Why didn't you just use a shovel. It looks like you made it harder than it had to be.
You mentioned your other channel but I don't see a link to it?
Hi have a jellybean blueberry and I have a blue crop Blueberry will they bloom at the same time and what other blueberry bush I can use to pollinate. Thank you.
Shovel would have been much easier…Just sayin.
Loved this video! Thank you!
My blueberries are ready to pick they are established bushes. But this year they have a hard seed like fiberus in it. Any ideas?
I have some sulfur in powdered form. Are these supposed to be the same as your pelets?
