Blueberries leaves gone brown
« on: August 06, 2014, 06:45 »
Last year I ordered a set of 3 blueberry bushes. Two of them as yet haven't come to anything ie just bare twigs.
One has thrived, I did re-pot them in Ericaceous compost.  Just recently I potted the healthy one on again to a bigger pot.  Many of the leaves have turned brown and fallen off. Has this happened because it disliked the move or is it the time of year they start to lose their leaves anyway? :( :(

Transplant shock, which is almost guaranteed to happen to woody deciduous plants if you move them when in leaf rather than when dormant. Don't let it dry out, but don't water too much either.

Bit concerned about the other two - you say you bought them last year so they should have grown at least a few leaves this spring - if the stems are brown rather than green underneath the 'bark' I'm afraid they've probably had it.  :(
Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older

Thanks Jayg.....Will the healthy one survive the move?  I will check beneath the bark on the other two. Thanks again.

Hopefully - just avoid the extremes of dry and waterlogged - they hate both!
