LOVED your video, as always! Thank you! Do you (or anyone else reading this) happen to know if planting multiple blueberry bushes of the SAME "self-pollinating" variety still gives the benefits of "cross" pollination? I need a consistent line of shrubs per the HOA (not a mix of varieties). I'd love to do a line of blueberries, but hate to miss the extra production that comes with cross pollination. TIA for any info!

I'm glad I took the time to watch this !!!!! Thank u for taking the time to record this for us.. you answered so many questions for both plants, especially about the fertilizer with the nitrates for raspberrys & ammonium for blueberry....please make a video like this for black raspberrys

Hi. I have four bushes all purchased in 2023 from a box store.
They had blueberries at time of purchases.
I have no idea how old the bushes are and happy they made it through the ohio winter.
Ive since repotted the plants because my yard and beds were overtaken by Lesser Celadine in a blink of the eye. Ive dug and thrown away bags and bags of soil to rid myself of plant and as many seeds as possible. Im planning hopefully to resoil the bed and replant in late june early july.
With all that said, I am terrified to prune and ive only seen a few flowers this year.
I anticipated drowning myself in berries this year.
Is there a local person in NE ohio that can assist?
