Fertilizing Blueberry Bushes

During the growth period of the blueberry tree, apply nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium compound fertilizer once every half a month, and apply potassium dihydrogen phosphate foliar fertilizer on its leaves to promote full absorption and growth of the root system, which is beneficial to the luxuriant growth of branches and leaves. When applying fertilizer, pay attention to the amount, do not apply concentrated fertilizers and fertilizers to avoid burning the roots.

Blueberry tree care precautions

Although blueberry trees are cold-resistant, they sometimes suffer from frost damage. The most important manifestation is frost damage to overwintering shoots and flower buds. In some special years, all the ground parts are frozen to death. Therefore, when planting blueberries in cold areas, it is necessary to take warming measures in time. You can pile snow on the plants to protect them from the cold, and apply tree protector on the trees.
