I have 5 in large clay pots. The best plant is a pale yellow color. The other 4 are doing good. Ive tried feeding it with some miracle grow twice.It just won,t green up. Last year it did great. I move it over about 4 ft. to where it is getting a little more sun. I am thinking it just don,t like it there. There is Blue Berries grown about 5 miles from me. I know they can be grown here. I am open to any any help I can get with it. Thanks Greg

Greg, blueberry bushes love acidic soil. Try watering with 30-10-10 or similar fertilizer and if you can, add some compost and the plant will probably bounce right back. Good luck.

sequoia- try using ferrous sulfate or iron chelate. put it around the base of the blueberries, not much though. the plants should green up. i use a balanced fert on mine, peters 20-20-20. every 2 weeks or so. you can use ammonium sulfate for the fertilizer, but i have never tried it. hope this helps some!

I agree with Joe. The most common cause of yellowing blueberries is insufficient iron.
