How would I prune my blueberry bushes?

Question

They have never been touched, since planted. The bear got into them last year. So how do you prune up , some roughed up blueberry bushes?

Pat Russell · Answer

I don't know much about growing blueberry bushes, just picking the blueberries! I would think you just go at them with clippers and shape them up like you want them. However, what about when do the berries form, etc? You might have to wait until they bloom and bear again. Check with your local Agricultural Commission for best results.

Hello! If that bear came to your door to eat your blueberries it means there was not enough food/calories to sustain him in the wild. You can be sure he will be back now that he views your bushes as a source of food. Forewarned is forearmed! If the bear becomes a nuisance, you might want to consider a preventive measure, such as an electric fence or other deterrent. Good luck!
