| Blueberry Bushes in Your Home Landscape |
 Blueberry bushes love our naturally acid Piedmont soil and they make a beautiful addition to your home landscape. Our varieties are well suited for this region and will bear fruit next spring. A minimum of two bushes is recommended for cross-pollination and planting varieties that ripen early, mid, and late in the season will give you berries through the summer.
Blueberry bushes need a minimum of six hours of sunlight, grow 5' to 6' tall and are planted 5' apart. They appreciate well drained soil and a mulch of pine bark or needles. Planting several bushes forms an informal hedge and assures you have plenty of berries for fresh fruit, your freezer, kids and birds.
