The growth time of blueberry is 2~3 times, so it can be pruned in summer or winter dormancy for the sake of beautiful tree shape. Pruning in blueberry growth period is mainly about topping and controlling plant height, and pruning again about 15 days after fruiting period to ensure no loss of nutrients. Pruning in winter is to promote fruit. Pruned blueberries need to be disinfected with disinfectant to help them grow healthily.

When will potted blueberries be pruned?

Generally, the growth time of blueberries is 2-3 times. For the beauty of the tree, blueberries can be pruned in summer, preferably before the buds appear. Secondly, they can be pruned after the leaves fall in winter and before the new buds sprout.

Cuttings: When cutting blueberries, select branches that grow vigorously and are free from pests and diseases 1~2 years, cut them obliquely with a blade, then insert them vertically into the culture medium to expose the terminal buds, and spray water to keep them moist. Be careful not to accumulate water, do not fertilize before rooting, and ventilate frequently during rooting.
