Planting blueberry bushes requires careful attention to spacing for optimal growth. Ensuring the right distance between plants promotes air circulation, reduces disease risk, and allows for abundant fruit production. Here’s how far apart to plant blueberry bushes:
- Highbush Blueberry: Space these varieties 5 to 6 feet apart in rows.
- Lowbush Blueberry: Plant 2 feet apart for a dense ground cover.
- Rabbiteye Blueberry: Maintain a distance of 6 to 8 feet between plants for best results.
Proper spacing supports healthy root development and facilitates easier harvesting, ensuring your blueberry bushes thrive and yield delicious berries year after year.
