Blueberries are partially self-fertile, but planting more than one variety enhances yield.
This concise summary should serve as a quick reference for individuals looking to grow Vaccinium 'Bluecrop' and promote successful cultivation.
May be susceptible to honey fungus (rarely), powdery mildews, root rot and chlorosis due to iron and manganese deficiency; see nutrient deficiencies. Blueberries are generally healthy and trouble-free, as long as they’re grown in suitably acidic soil or ericaceous potting compost, and kept well watered throughout the growing season. They need protection in very cold spells in winter, especially when grown in containers, and from frosts while in flower in spring. Make sure the fruits are protected from birds too, with netting or a fruit cage.
