High blueberry also called American comes from North America. It grows on the bushes, usually fruits 2-3 years after blowing up, although He reaches the best yields only after 6 years of placing in the ground. It gives small, spherical, dark fruit with a sweet and curly taste, which are a good source of vitamins, antioxidants and antioxidants.
Before blowing up a new one, it is worth remembering that American blueberry is many years – in good conditions it can result in up to several dozen years. Therefore, the best position should be provided. When deciding on several varieties, it is better to plant them alternately, it can also increase crops. Blueberry gives early, medium and late varieties – within them it is worth planting the bushes alternately. Fruits dustrated with pollen of another variety (with the same fruiting period), give harvest up to 14 days earlier, than when the bushes are pollen with pollen from the same variety.
Besides, the bushes prefer:
- Acidic substrate -The optimal pH of the blueberry soil is 3.8-5.0. They prefer a well -permeable substrate, preferably with an admixture of peat. They poorly bear fruit in alkaline soils.
- Sunny positions – These bushes should not be in partial shade. Blueberry needs a lot of sun to give a lot of crops. Thanks to this, the fruits ripen faster, have a deeper color and a better taste.
- Stands sheltered before the wind – Shrubs have delicate branches, the wind can break them quickly. Blueberry should be planted in places sheltered before the wind, e.g. near the hedges.
Blueberry needs regular watering due to the shallow root system. It’s best to use rainwater for this. Tap water can raise the pH of the soil. In addition, it is worth using litter to maintain the appropriate acidification of the substrate. You can use, among others pine sawdins and bark.
