Blueberries are self-fruitful however, when two or more cultivars are present, cross-pollination produces fruit that ripens earlier and is larger.
Blueberries require an acid soil with the pH in the range of 4.5 to 5.5 for best results, which can be amended with aluminum sulfate or soil sulfur. Because of their shallow, fibrous root systems, blueberries require a soil that is uniformly
moist, but not saturated. Heavy poorly drained soils should be avoided. They are attractive both while in flowering and fruiting stages. The brilliant fall colors, ranging from orange,
scarlet and red, along with the rugged appearance add to the value of the landscape.
