Care Tips for Blueberry 'Atlantic' Plants

Plant Blueberry 'Atlantic' in full sun with well-drained, acidic soil rich in organic matter. Maintain soil pH between 4.5 and 5.5 for best results. Water consistently, especially during dry spells and fruiting periods, but avoid overwatering. Mulch with pine bark or other organic mulch to retain moisture and suppress weeds. Prune in late winter to remove dead wood and shape the plant. Feed with an acid-specific fertiliser in spring. It is worth covering the plants with a net during fruiting to protect the berries from birds.
