Harvesting Your Blueberries
Blueberries are ready to harvest when they are fully blue, plump, and easily detach from the stem with a gentle tug.
Check your plants regularly during the harvest season, which can last from late spring to summer.
Pick berries every few days to encourage more fruit production.
Store harvested blueberries in the refrigerator and enjoy them fresh or freeze for later use.
Troubleshooting Common Problems
Yellow leaves: May indicate nutrient deficiencies or improper watering.
Poor fruit production: Often caused by insufficient sunlight, poor pollination, or over-fertilizing with nitrogen.
Root rot: Caused by overwatering or poor drainage; ensure containers drain well and adjust watering frequency.
Leaf scorch: In intense sun, some blueberry varieties may develop scorched leaves; provide partial afternoon shade if needed.
