I'll try to check tomorrow, Scott. I took very good care of my Blueberries, though, throughout the drought, making sure they were well watered. We'll see.....

Scott or Susan, I'm a first year grower,who, lost 3 out of 6 plants to the heat. What exactly am I looking for? How do you tell a leaf bud from a fruiting bud?

The fruiting buds are roundish and fat. The leaf buds are small and pointed.

On mature plants it is possible to have the top 4 or 5 buds be fruiting buds, whereas some young plants or plants in poor health might have no fruiting buds on the shoots.

I had a really hard time keeping my roots wet this year on the ones planted above-grade.
