What month do you prune blueberry bushes?
The optimum time to prune blueberries is in late winter to early spring after the chance of severe cold is over and before new growth has begun.
Are you supposed to cut back blueberry bushes?
Pruning blueberries is an essential winter chore for several reasons. Proper pruning maintains an open growth habit, which improves air circulation, opens the center of the plant to sunlight, and reduces disease. Annual pruning maintains productivity by encouraging the growth of new fruit-producing stems.
