How To Plant Top Hat Blueberry
These bold bushes love to soak up the sun, but will love to dabble in partial shade. Slightly acidic, well-draining soil is preferred from these fellas and they will require consistent moisture.
How To Water
Water twice weekly for the first 3-5 weeks; then water weekly for the remainder of the year until winter. When you water, water very slowly and very thoroughly. The water needs to reach to the bottom of the root ball and that takes time. Watering needs may be altered due to extreme weather conditions.
How To Prune
As your Blueberry matures, you should thin your plant by about 1/3 by removing the older canes - this will allow new branches to fruit the following year.
