Pruning at Planting

At planting time, you should remove all weak, diseased, and broken wood and all flower buds.

After One Year

Again prune any diseased or broken wood. Vigorous plants may be allowed to bear up to a pint of fruit (2 to 30 flower buds). Remove any additional buds.

Pruning a blueberry bush after 2 to 5 years in the field.

After Two to Five Years

Continue similar pruning practices for the next 2 to 5 years. If the plants appear vigorous, do not remove more flower buds than is necessary during pruning. During this time, the emphasis should still be on producing healthy bushes and not on fruit production.

If well-grown bushes were started as healthy 2-year-old plants, they may be considered mature bushes after 6 to 8 growing seasons in the field.
