Are you picking the best blueberry bush at the nursery? 🫐👀 Here’s your quick checklist before you buy 👇 ✅ Look for red stems Those are usually 1 year old growth and that’s where this season’s berries form 🌱 ✅ Check for a mix of stem colors Healthy plants have some red stems AND some gray or light brown wood. The older wood gives structure and also produces fruit 🌿 ✅ Look for thick, sturdy new growth Long red stems can mean good vigor, but avoid thin, floppy growth from over fertilizing 💪 ✅
