The mulch can be composed of leaves, straw, dry lawn clippings or 
similar loose material at least six inches thick. It should extend at least 
two feet from the plant and when the plant is full grown, it should cover 
all the space under the branches. This should be put on when the plant 
is set out and left the year ’round. 
Fertilizer and Pruning 
The Blueberry responds to fertilizer treatments. A 5-10-5 fertilizer 
mixture is usually satisfactory applied at the rate of 1/2 lb. to the plant, 
but the treatment should be divided and half put on at the blooming time 
and half a month later. It should be distributed evenly over a three foot 
square about the plant. Stable manure is not considered satisfactory for 
blueberries. 
Pruning is largely a matter of judgment in keeping the number of 
berries small enough so that all can grow into large fruit. The first year 
all fruit buds are removed to get the best growth possible. The second 
year it usually is safe to leave half the fruit buds. As the plants grow 
older, it is advisable to remove the twiggy growth and large stems over 
six years old. The best yields are obtained on stems four years old.
