I just bought some blueberry plants the other day and the tag on mine says they will fruit on second year wood, so not expecting any fruit on mine for awhile... but yes the two different varieties was the advice I was given too ]]> Sat, 15 Jan 2011 13:32:29 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37262&PID=1240979&title=blueberries#1240979 <![CDATA[Blueberries : put some flower pots next to them...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37262&PID=1232012&title=blueberries#1232012 Author: Raspberryjam

I think I'll wait until the strawberries finish fruiting since they are so close.  Then I'll replant the blueberries somewhere more appropriate - and add another two plants of a different kind.  Hopefully that will sort it!!

I have 2 bushes too and bought them last year and nothing happened. This year one has a HEAP of berries on it (still not ripe yet though) and the other has hardly anything. Fickle things!]]> Sat, 01 Jan 2011 08:54:10 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37262&PID=1229968&title=blueberries#1229968 <![CDATA[Blueberries : They need to get pollinated.

They need to get pollinated. Best is to have two different kind of blueberries close together. You dont want the bees to go too far from the one to the other bush.

That is the advice we were given when we bought ours. We got 4 in at the moment of 3 different kinds. And have berries on them. They will need some food and like a bit more acidic soil as well. ]]> Fri, 31 Dec 2010 23:22:28 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37262&PID=1229911&title=blueberries#1229911 <![CDATA[Blueberries : I don&#039;t have any solutions...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37262&PID=1229305&title=blueberries#1229305 Author: whitewave

I don't have any solutions for you, but we just bought a little bush in Wanganui which already had some green berries on it. We've put into a pot, and my son is watching the berries slowly ripen! So young bushes can still produce berries. We live in Ohakune, the weather is probably fairly similar to Wellington!]]> Thu, 30 Dec 2010 20:52:53 +0000 https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37262&PID=1229305&title=blueberries#1229305 <![CDATA[Blueberries : I have two blueberry bushes that...]]> https://www.ohbaby.co.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=37262&PID=1229256&title=blueberries#1229256 Author: happymumma

I have two blueberry bushes that I bought earlier on this year.  They are looking beautifully healthy but have no signs of berries yet.  Am I hoping for too much in Wgtn?  Should I be feeding them more than I am or are they just too young?  They are competing a bit with my strawberry plants (which have gone completely mad!!) so I also wondered whether they need a bit more space around them.

Any ideas?  I'm not too sure what I should be expecting of them!!
