Bower & Branch Landscape Design Tip
Plant Blueray in full sun and acidic, well-drained soil for the best fruit production. If your soil leans alkaline, amend with peat moss, composted pine bark, or an acid-based soil mix. Water regularly, especially during flowering and fruiting, and mulch to conserve moisture and maintain even soil temperature. Prune in late winter to remove old or crowded canes and to encourage fresh new growth. Although Blueray is self-pollinating, planting it near another variety like Bluecrop or Patriot will boost yields and berry size.

How to use Blueray Highbush Blueberry in the landscape?

However, Blueray Highbush is self-fertile to ensure that you produce the best blueberry crop and plant other blueberry bushes to cross-pollinate. Growing different varieties will extend your harvest season between early, mid, and late-season plants. Be sure to harvest the blueberries before the birds do! If you are worried that our winged friends will enjoy the harvest before you, place a net over Blueray to preserve the berries.
How To Plant Blueray Highbush Blueberry
Acid soil is key to growing Blueberries successfully. These peat-loving Accents require very low–pH conditions to thrive. If your soil isn’t naturally acidic, you may want to grow Blueray Blueberry in a large container or raised bed. Give it all-day sun if possible and use lots of organic matter—both as a soil amendment and mulch. Water weekly if no rain falls. Even though Blueray is self-pollinating, you may want to plant other blueberry varieties to increase your yearly berry yield. Pruning should be completed in late winter after the second year of being planted.
