Blueberry advice
I have a 3 year old blueberry bush (bluecrop) and 2 new bushes that I bought a couple of months back. All are in similar size pots, in ericaceous compost. It's very noticeable that the old blueberry has far fewer flowers than the new ones - maybe about a third the amount.
What I'm wondering is if this is just how things are and they produce less as they get older, or if there's something I should/shouldn't do to help the old one and stop the new ones going the same way!!

It may be just down to the difference in variety of bush. Or the older one may need pruning, although I understand that blueberries need little trimming.

Last year i had a good crop on my 3 Tophat bushes. This year hardly any on 2 and none on 1 plant.

blueberries need rain water not tap water when available and like an azalia or rozedandron fertiler as feed and need a good size pot, a little end of season pruning but not much. i also use a little bit of growmore as well, mine seam ok and my bluecrop has the most on seconded by my sunshine variety.

Mine have sent out reaaly long new branches this year. Can I cut them back. I don't want the plants to grow to big as they are on the patio. Mine are 2 years old and have a really good crop this year.I water with rain water and I put a manure mulch on top.I will feed with acid plant fertiliser soon.
