Candelabra® Highbush Blueberry Bush

1. Planting: Plant or repot within 4 weeks of arrival. Choose a location that receives full sun to partial shade and ensure the soil is well-drained. Dig a hole about twice the width of the root ball and the same depth. Place the bush in the center, backfill with soil, and gently tamp down to remove air pockets. Water thoroughly after planting.

2. Watering: Keep the soil consistently moist but not soggy. During the first year, water weekly, especially during dry spells. Once established, you can reduce frequency but monitor soil moisture to avoid stress on the plant.

3. Pruning: Prune annually in late winter or early spring to promote healthy growth and fruit production. Remove dead or damaged branches and thin out any crowded areas to allow sunlight to penetrate and encourage air circulation.

4. Fertilizing: Fertilize with a balanced, acid-loving fertilizer suitable for blueberries in early spring and again in late summer. This supports healthy growth and enhances fruit quality.
