    Any idea on what is wrong with this blueberry ?

    Hi all,
    could anybody suggest what may be up with this Blueberry plant please ? I have several plants of which this one is looking a little sick, the others are fine, nice and green. They are all in the same compost and are all fed etc.... I did treat for Vine weevil earlier in the year as I was told they love to live in compost, no obvious signs of any pests . ta

    Could it be iron chlorosis?.............

      Looks like chlorosis. Try spraying the leaves and around the base of the plant with a solution of chelated iron. It worked for me with my citrus trees.

        add some ericaceous compost or a thick layer of bark around the plant as this will leach the right ph down onto your soil each time it rains, I have neutral soil and I treat the blueberries like this and they seem to love it, good healthy foliage and plenty of fruit..
