How to Care for Top Hat Blueberry Fruit Bushes

When it comes to planting, Dwarf Top Hat blueberry seeds should be planted in well-draining, acidic soil. The soil should have a pH of 4.5-5.5. The plant prefers full sun, but can tolerate partial shade. They also require consistent moisture, so it is important to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged.

When it comes to fertilizing, blueberry bushes require fertilization twice a year, once in the spring and again in the summer. A slow-release fertilizer or one specifically formulated for blueberries is best. Blueberries also require a yearly application of mulch to help retain moisture and keep the roots cool.

Pruning is also important for the growth and development of your Dwarf Top Hat blueberry bush. Prune the bush in late winter or early spring, before new growth appears. This will help to promote healthy new growth and increase yields. Remove any dead, diseased or damaged wood.
