Hi Zachary and welcome to Permies!
Have you had a soil test done?

I know...will the compost for orchids acidify the soil?Ken W Wilson wrote:Ph of 7 is way too high. Should be around 4.5-5.

made these using macro modeSteve Thorn wrote:The green colored stem is a good sign. Ones that are close to dying usually shrivel up all over. I would probably prune off the black part though to a healthy bud.
The buds also look like a healthy normal color, and it seems like it may be about to put on some new growth. If you can get a focused picture of the buds, it may be easier to tell for sure!
Hope they do well!

i placed some evergreen tree branches aound the blueberries.Is it ok or not?Steve Thorn wrote:I think I see a few healthy looking buds and what looks to be some healthy new growth starting.
Just from looking at the picture, it looks like the soil is pretty dry and rocky. If you can put down some good leaf mulch and keep the soil moist during its first year or two while it gets established, it can help it have a good start. Most blueberry varieties thrive in soil too wet for a lot of other plants.
Here's a like to a thread about blueberries I'm growing that may have some additional information!

I placed small branches with leaves in them as I don t have old pine chipsTj Jefferson wrote:I use the pine chips I get around blueberries and it works well but can be a little too much the first year possibly due to aluminum content. Old pine chips are superior.
I use the pine chips year one around tomato plants, they love it and degrade them quickly. They need added nitrogen and my very best areas also have blewit cultivation which I am not sure to be cause or effect. After a year with tomatoes ( I plant blueberries the same time but they don’t do much year one but they do well after).
oh...nevermind I found a bag with some mulch for orchid which contains pine chips and coconuts chips.Are coconut chips good for blueberries?Zachary Jhonson wrote:
