About Blueberry
Blueberries need acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5) and at least two varieties for cross-pollination — but are long-lived once established.
Plant at least two different varieties for pollination. Soil must be acidic — test and amend with sulphur if needed. Mulch thickly with pine bark. Do not expect full production for 3 years.
Gardening in Yukon
Yukon has a subarctic continental climate with extreme cold winters but surprisingly warm and long summer days. Whitehorse is Zone 1b-2a. Some vegetables succeed with cold frames and fast-maturing varieties.
