Blueberry leaves #835833

Asked June 15, 2023, 3:16 PM EDT

This plant was doing extremely well but checked it out again today and the new leaves have turned bright yellow and seem to be transitioning further down the stem as well with yellow blotches on the green leaves. Doesn't look like iron chlorosis and have been irrigating them but this one has grown a lot more than the others, I wonder if it just needs more water to help up? All the other 25 plants are healthy and growing well. This was planted last year.

Wright County Minnesota

Expert Response

Could it be herbicide damage? Is it at the end of a row? I agree it doesn’t really look like chlorosis.

Check soil moisture levels before watering. A tablespoon of vinegar in a gallon of water no more than once a month can help a blueberry bush.
