My builder uses Houzz Pro to plan the timeline and give detailed estimates and daily updates with photos of progress, and provide invoices at pre-agreed key points in the build. This made the whole experience much more efficient and stress-free.

Pruning this floppy blueberry

12 years ago

I had pretty good success with this third year plant (lots of delicious fruit), but during fruiting it sort of flopped over and I know it needs pruned... I'm just not certain where to start. I know approximately zero about pruning and the internet has not offered clear guidelines. The most bowed over branches seem the thickest and I'm afraid to chop them. Any tips? Is it in awful shape? Which/what should I cut? Help!
