Peter - Your blueberry looks FABULOUS compared to mine. I put in bare root plants 2 weeks ago - did tons of soil amendment to promote a happy site but the leaves are all turning a bronze/maroon (much more so than your's). We've had a chilly, wet spring here in Montana and even though I'm covering the plants every night I have to wonder if they're getting nipped and that is what is causing the color change. I'm hoping my plants will rebound but it's not looking so good at the moment. Anne

I have seven blueberries planted from last year and show some of that exact red coloring to a varying degree. Some folks suggested that it was a magnesium deficiency and that I should put down some epsom salts but I did not do that.

I did add some sulfer in the fall and some acid fertilizer (Hollytone) this spring and besides the red leafs, the plants look really healthy with lots of blueberries. (4 were bareroot and are small and 3 were potted).

I gotta say your plants look perfectly healthy, so far I have 16 verities and several of them have the same bronze cast to the new leaves as yours have, so either I'm doing something wrong... or it is normal for several verities. If this is caused by Mg deficiency; which for now I don't really believe. Yet! I really hope more people with this knowledge will post! because as far as I'm concerned... normal.

I agree with mudflapper. It looks healthy to me. Though, I only have a few blueberries at this point.

My blueberries look as though they died, they are all brown all at once, is it because of the heat?

Journey, some info on planting conditions could be helpful, type of plants used and if soil has been adjusted for PH,if adjusted how was it adjusted? type of soil, water or lack of?

thanks, everyone,

I found the same color even in HD, LOWES, I think that's normal right now.
