Blueberries are usually pruned in bud stage, summer and winter. If there are too many buds in spring, they should be pruned in time to reduce the consumption of nutrients. If the branches grow too fast or too long, the ornamental value will be reduced. At this time, it is best to trim it in time. After winter, it is mainly to cut off too dense and too long, or old branches and weak branches.

Blueberry pruning time

Blueberries can be pruned three times a year, usually in flower bud stage, summer and winter, and blueberry branches can be pruned 2-3 times in summer. Reasonable pruning can reduce the consumption of nutrients and promote the better growth of blueberries.

Pruning method of blueberry

1, flower bud pruning

The flower buds of blueberries grow on the branches of the previous year, and more flower buds appear every spring. If there are too many buds, the results and quality will be affected. Timely pruning and proper pruning can reduce the consumption of nutrients.

2, summer pruning

Blueberries grow faster, and the branches are usually two to three times longer. If they grow too fast or the branches are too long, the ornamental value will be reduced. At this time, it is best to prune in time and cut it short before the flower buds grow, so as to increase the number of flowers.

3, winter pruning

Blueberries will enter dormancy in winter, so pruning at this time will not do much harm to the plants, and the plant type can also be adjusted, mainly by cutting off too dense and too long, or old branches and weak branches, and the cut branches can be used for cutting.
