Growing Guide

When to Grow

These live plants ship prompt weekly as available from the first of March to the end of May, so get your site ready before they arrive. Plant after the last spring frost in a full-sun location with well-draining soil, spacing the two plants about 3 feet apart, then top-dress with compost and mulch. Most plants arrive 3 to 7 inches tall and these young, tender plants generally have no resistance to cold, so make sure you are ready for your order in your zone.

How to Sow and Plant

  • Choose a location in full sun with well-draining soil.
  • Test your soil pH. Blueberries prefer a pH of 4-5.
  • Plant after the last spring frost.
  • Space plants 2-3 feet apart.
  • Top-dress with compost and mulch.

How to Grow

  • Keep plants well-watered. 1-2 inches per week.
  • In the second year, prune bushes when the plants have gone dormant, after leaf drop. (Usually in mid to late winter).

PESTS/SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS

  • Continue to prune each year to encourage healthy new growth.

How to Save Seeds

  • Blueberries can be propagated through softwood cutting in the spring or hardwood cuttings in the dormant season.
  • Take 4-6 inch long cuttings using sterilized pruning shears.
  • Dip the bottom end in rooting hormone.
  • Plant into a pot with well drained potting soil.
  • Keep moist but not wet until the cutting has rooted.

FAQ

What soil pH does Northcountry need?

Blueberries absolutely require acidic soil and prefer a pH of 4 to 5. Test the soil at your planting site before your plants arrive. If the pH is too high you will need to amend with sulfur, but this is easily done.

Can I grow it in a container?

Yes. Northcountry is a great selection for container or in-ground growing, and it is a cold hardy variety perfect for zones 3 through 8, which makes it a productive and delicious blueberry for the northern gardener.

How long until it fruits, and when do I prune?

Plan on roughly two to three years to maturity. Keep plants well-watered at 1 to 2 inches per week. In the second year, prune the bushes when the plants have gone dormant, after leaf drop, usually in mid to late winter, and continue to prune each year to encourage healthy new growth.
