Blueberries

Blueberry bud burst, note green tip of leaf buds (click for a larger image)Bud burst in blueberries. The large bud at the tip of the shoot is a flower bud and will have flowers and fruit.  The smaller pointed buds below are leaf buds and will devlop leaves on a shoot.  This is the time to begin mummyberry control to protect the shoots from shoot blight.

The picture below shows the flowers and shoots about one or two weeks later.
