Hi,
Newbie here with a few questions on blueberries.
Have planted few plants (BlueCorp/GoldTraube/Briggite and Earliblue) since November (in SE). Initially the plants were doing well and started flowering and growing.. The last weeks however have noticed that:
- the colour of the leaves is mostly reddish. I am adding ericaceous compost, sulphur chips and acid plants food (And coffee grounds when possible) . Up to 1-2 weeks ago I was not watering them much. Could it be due to that?
-can see that in some of the plants there are lots of ants moving around. Have not seen any aphids and cannot see the ants going to any specific place. I am watering around the plant and digging in order to make them go away but cant see much difference. Have mulched alot so i am suspecting that they might be hiding in the mulch? Any "organic" solution to this problem?
-Can see some smalls insects flying around the plants.
-Can also see spider web in one of the plants.
Do you see any risks with any of the aboves? I can see that some of the flowers are loosing their leaves so not sure if this is an issue.
Do the fruits gets created from the flowers?
Have added few photos..
Many thanks for your help,
