How many blueberries for 1 litter?

Can some one explain to me how 1 litter of 100% blueberry juice cost me 7$

While 30g of fresh blueberries cost me the same?

What is going on?

Flowering in November (Central Florida)

My pink lemonade blueberry bushes are already starting to flower, and last year, they didn't flower this early. I live in Central Florida zone 9b. Isn't it way too early for them to start flowering?

Blueberry growing advice

Picture of the two plants

New to growing blueberries and looking for some advice that I had trouble finding in all the guides I've read/watched. Would be grateful if anyone here had experience or advice to share. I'm zone 6b and purchased a jersey and Duke blueberry from a local nursery and have planted then in these pots. Had 3 questions,

  1. What should watering be like in the fall/winter for these newly planted bushes?

  2. Should I do any initial pruning before they are established? The plants are 2-3 ft tall and from my research that means they are probably close to 3 years old

  3. Should I pick off flowers this spring on a 3 yr old plant to help it root out, or is that usually reserved for less mature bushes?

Any other advice is welcome, thanks for any help!

Prepping soil for spring

I’m looking to plant about 5 blueberry bushes in the backyard this coming spring (zone 7b). The current soil ph is around 7. I’m trying to get them in the ground sooner rather than later and don’t really want to go the sulfur route and slowly acidify. Would I have any success digging a hole, let’s say twice as large as needed, partially fill with Coast of Maine acidic soil, plant the bush, and fill in with remaining CoM soil? I don’t mind using the elemental sulfur to keep the ph level low, I just don’t want to wait until next fall to plant. Thanks for the help!

What is this

Why is this blueberry turning a pinky, red colour? Should I be concerned?

Not sure what I am doing 😅

These 3 blueberry plants gave a decent amount of berries in late spring but ever since summer they’ve looked pretty much like this.

Are they dead/dying?

Blueberry rust treatment that is safe for pollinators?

We just bought a house this year and the whole property was in pretty bad shape. Lots of invasives, weed tarp under everything (we removed it), and just generally poor maintenance.

We’ve started a compost bin, amended the soil with compost and new garden soil, and been pretty diligent in removing the leaves from the roses and blueberries that have black spot and blueberry rust (these are not being composted, btw).

I am planning to make JADAM in the spring for watering the roses, blueberries, and apple tree we just planted, because I do believe in the principle of healthy soil = healthy plants.

That being said, what treatment can I apply topically or systemically to the blueberries in order to prevent the blueberry rust? We bought the plants from a plant nursery that was dissolving and it was, unfortunately, during our very rainy and humid season - so I’m not surprised as the rust. I’m just trying to find something that isn’t going to harm the pollinators the way traditional fungicides will.

I’d love any ideas to help with this! Thank you!

Blueberries spaced 18” apart

My husband surprised me with a row of southern highbush blueberries for my birthday. He planted them when I was out with friends and spaced them 18” apart. Is this close spacing going to be an issue? I know him- if I dig up and replace them, his feelings will be hurt so…. I only want to do so if strictly necessary. There is plenty of room on either side of the row. Will this be a problem or am I safe to leave them as is?

Need help.

Pretty sure these are fungal spots. Sprayed them with a copper based fungicide earlier today but I’m sure if it would help. Should I just remove all the infected leaves instead?(almost all the leaves on the plant have these spots) And if I do, will the plant survive. My blueberry plants are a year old

Plants drying out (zone 9)

Hello, I'm in zone 9 and my blueberries were generally healthy all summer (although no fruits, but I thought that was ok since it's first year). As the weather starts to change, my plants seem to be doing pretty poorly. Shedding leaves and most leaves have white stains too. I can't find any aphids under the leaves either. Any pointers? Should I prune the plants?

Blueberries Driscoll vs Berryfield

Does anyone know the difference between Peru's Driscoll Jumbo's blueberries as compared to Korean brand Berryfield?

The latter tasted slightly sweeter and carries a scent of rose. Are there any nutritional significance between them?
