[Gazergirlstar]

hey everyone ! Im trying to grow blueberry bushes in SC we planted 2 last year and they did bear fruit. we got the brightwell and tiff blue versions, but i think the snow we got this year killed them. Im wondering what are some tips/tricks to help grow the new ones we will get ? how to make them healthy and strong before winter, also i have clay in my yard

We grow blueberries in Wisconsin. We started several years ago with five bushes. We mulch them in the fall heavily with whatever we've got, such as dry leaves with dried grass clippings. They all came back the first few years, then a couple of years ago we neglected to mulch them and one died. Not bad, but that was about a 4-year old bush. We bought two more, and just have to remember to mulch them in the fall.
