This is cool. I'm planting a pair of blueberry bushes this weekend that I picked up at Home Depot. Any special tips I need to know?

Well, yeah. They won’t grow in Texas.

You need to know if they're highbush or lowbush.

Growing Highbush Blueberries.

Or here.

I don't know much, except that everybody here burns the fields in the fall. I guess it kills the weeds, and the berry plants like it.

They grow wild on my property, I just pick 'em.

I know that blueberries grow in North Florida.

They must have acid, well drained soil. You just need to get a variety that is suitable for your area.

They like acidic soil. Once in a while mix vinegar and water 3-1 and give to them. I have 5 small bushes now and am hoping for a bumper crop this year. I love blueberries.
