Help an alien in my blueberry bush
« on: July 19, 2015, 17:18 »
I thought that I had a new strong branch growing on my Ozarkblue bush but it has turned hairy, developed large green leaves and is about to flower  :ohmy:

It is definitely growing from the base of the plant.

I guess that the best thing to is cut it off but what is it?

I would say sunflower too - guessing from wild bird food. They are usually the stronger, healthier ones  :nowink:

 :lol:  :lol:  :lol: It looks so firmly attached to the base of the bush that I just didn’t consider the obvious. I guess it is the work of one of my mischievous blackbirds.

Oh no it wont  :D  If you look closely at the photo you can see the netting cage; the blueberries are safe.

Should I let the sunflower stay or will it take too much away from the bush  :unsure: It looks quite quirky.
