I live in Richmond. I've found that if you grow your blueberry plants in containers for a few years before transplanting, they tend to grow a lot better. Possibly this due to their wimpy roots and the clay soild in the area. I've translpanted young plants into the soil and have had similar less than ideal growth. Also I put a layer of mulch around each plant. If you have room try Legacy, by far the most flavorful and sweetest of my crop. Happy edible gadening, Doug Love your posts. I live in Richmond.
