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 Georgia
Georgia has a humid subtropical climate with hot summers and mild winters. A long growing season supports two full vegetable crops per year in most of the state.
