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.

Fruiting Blueberry Sun Requirement

16 years ago

I recently purchased a 3 gal Tifblu blueberry plant that has quite a bit of small fruit on it. Due to the hot TX summers, I'd rather keep the plant in the container out of the sun while it still has fruit on it and plant it once the high temps back off. I know they produce best in full sun, but if the berries have already set, is there any problem with keeping it in the shade?
