Planting

Choose a spot with full sun (at least 6 hours a day) and set healthy transplants out in early spring in a hole that is at least two times as large as the root ball around the plant. Add good quality soil and some moistened peat moss. Do not add fertilizer at planting; wait about 3 to 4 weeks. Keep the plant watered well so its roots do not dry out while growing in their new home. Space each blueberry at least 5 feet apart to give them room to grow.
