Plant & Growing Tips

Mixed berries

Blueberries require very acidic soil (pH 4.5-5.5); amend with peat moss or sulfur if needed.
Plant in full sun and ensure consistent moisture, especially during fruit development.
Choose self-pollinating varieties or plant two different varieties for better fruit set.

Mango

Mango trees thrive in warm, tropical or subtropical climates with full sun.
Water regularly when young, reducing frequency as the tree matures and establishes deep roots.
Protect young trees from strong winds and frost if growing in marginal areas.

Natural Pest Control

Cover blueberry bushes with bird netting as fruits begin to ripen to protect against feathered friends.

Inspect mango leaves regularly for scale insects or mealybugs and treat with horticultural oil.
