    Need advice for blueberry bush

    This little thing has been in my yard since I moved in. I have no clue what to do with it. It looks more like a small tree than a bush. It only has maybe 5 main branches and only has leaves on the tops of these. I assume new growth comes off the old wood. But, since it is mostly all old wood I am afraid to prune it. I would like to cut all the branches by 1/3. Would this kill it? Should I do this in the fall?

    Hi here again,

    Here is a great link about growing/pruning blueberries in your area:

    Also, you might want to update your personal options to show that you are from Ohio so we don't re-ask you :)

    Good luck!

    Give them a nice dose of an acidic fertilizer around Halloween, that should perk them up for next spring.

    I have heard vinegar mixed with water is good for this. Is this true?
