Mr Cline has demonstrated the most informative way and reason for pruning the blueberries that I have seen. The way he explains it, does not leave me wondering if I should leave smaller branches. How he explains that the fruit becomes smaller as the tips die back, and shows it on his diagrams . As I watched it, I could see what occurred on some of the branches of my own blueberries, and I now know how to correct it. Thank you for an outstanding way of teaching how to do this.
Mr. Cline is a classic example of a well informed, responsible Gardener-Webb graduate. He is the same person in person you see in this video ! Thank you, Mr. Cline.
Great video. I recently purchased property with some very old and overgrown rabbit eye blueberry bushes. I don't believe they've ever been pruned. This video is extremely helpful. Thank you.
By far the best demonstration of the reasons for and techniques of pruning of blueberries I have seen. I review videos every year to review expert pruning advice before pruning my blueberry patch.
This has been a great visual description of before and after. But instead of clipping the off shoots to the side, can you dig them up and plant else where
This has been so helpful in finally deciding to prune my 30 year old blueberry bush that is way too tall and all the fruit is at the top. It was such a heavy producer I have been scared to do anything with it. I am excited to go lop off a few of these huge old canes and finally get some new growth. Thanks a bunch!
Loved the demo. Thank you sir. I'm a small place with about 1,200 plants- and the down side about removing too many old canes and crossovers is that there is no support for a loaded-up young bush. They lean WAY over, making it impossible to mow between the rows with out running over them or stripping off the fruit w/ the maching. Cross-overs give structure to the young canes until they grow strong enough to hold themselves up when weighed down by fruit., at least, this has been my expreience.
My parents put a few bushes in the mountain house yard. We would get huge berries for years. Recent years I’m getting nothing. This winter I’ll be pruning them per your instructions
I’m surprised you say that because Germans are great at everything. You are so scientific with everything. My family history is German. Dads side from the. North and moms side from the south.
Thank you for sharing this video. I was wondering, if we are seeing new shoots coming from the lower part of a parent stem, should be generally prune those even if they look like healthy new growths? Thank you for your time.
You don't have to remove all the basal shoots, but try to keep a few of the strongest basal shoots to use as future replacement canes for the older canes as the old canes age out. You'll want to prune out canes crossing over the middle since your goal is to let light down into the plant.
@@CEFSvideos thanks for explaining. So if there are child shoots growing from a parent cane and they are coming out of the lower half of the cane we’d generally want to trim those out as well to remove blocking of light at the base of the bush?
Quick question? With a good drainage in the soil doesn't the sulphuric acid wash away in time? Should the soil be amended with elemental suphur from time to time?
When and where do you offer gardening classes? I have a garden group on Facebook with almost 1,600 members and I would love to offer some classes with knowledgeable gardeners sharing their experience.
I bought a house with a backyard full of overgrown bushes. They're not producing much of anything. I'm scared to do anything to them. I need hands on teaching. Even after watching this I am still so hesitant. Are there people I can hire? 😬🤦♀️

This was an outstanding demonstration of how to take care of blueberry bushes. Thank you!
After watching this video, for the first time I have confidence that I know how to properly manage my blueberry bushes. Excellent tutorial!
Best I seen on you tube , TY sir.

Best video on the subject I have seen. Thx for sharing
Excellent video on how and what to prune. Thanks!
oh my goodness, finally, the info Ive been looking for! Thanks so much! And that disappearing man @ 17:11?? What is going on there lol
Amazing!!!

immensely helpful! Most other sources don't provide any reasoning or explanations for why/how you prune
Great video....thanks. A closeup of old wood and new wood would be nice.
Thank you, there are not many good videos about blueberry in germany. I guess the US guys are pro :)
I’m surprised you say that because Germans are great at everything. You are so scientific with everything.
My family history is German. Dads side from the. North and moms side from the south.
Great information
Great information thanks

Now I know enough to be danderous !
So helpful thank you!! I'm in western north Carolina ( near Asheville) is it too late to prune for this year?

17:11 in the left corner you see a man disappear.
Aliens. Don’t worry 😀
That was weird.
Hysterical
that's a scene cut.
I identify as a bird. Can me and my flock participate in the harvest?
