Blueboy,

My ducks make quick work of the june bugs:) Hmm odd on the Emeralds and no have not had any problem with them. Blueberries don't seek a balance so it must be something else..did you get cold after the flowers started to open?

It did get down to the low 30s a few weeks ago so that could be it? Im wondering if the June Bugs are ransacking the clusters also. Most all of the fallen ones were off color and very small with the exception of one that was half way swollen. I dont know? Theres still plenty of fruit holding on but if thats how its gona be with Emerald in my area then I just wont prune buds quite as hard next year. I should have left alot more buds anyway because that Emerald is leafing out like crazy. Its so thick Im wondering if I should start thinning out some of the new branches already? Im scared to tip any of the new growth because there is so much going on there already!

Blueboy,

Low 30's would not have done any harm. Not sure what caused it or Fruitnuts. The Emeralds are vigorous growers.

How about too much rain? We have been getting pounded for 2 or 3 days at a time every week for the last 2 months. May be thats it? How much damage do you think I would do to the bush if I up root it and put it in a pot? Its the only SHB in my raised beds. I want to put another rabbiteye in its place and have all the SHB in pots and all my rabbits in the raised beds. I should probably wait untill next winter?

Could be the rain...just not sure. If you yank it I would remove the fruit. If it was mine I would wait until it is done fruiting then move it.
