For any other home gardeners wondering what IPM is, it stands for Integrated Pest Management.

Good information, thanks

Wow! …. What an outstanding presentation!

[@susanbonds88]

Excellent explanations.

[@mariagibbons8437]

Do you net the bushes? How do you deal with birds picking berries?

Wish my plants were that big, it’s huge!

[@frankenz66]

Wow, overgrown majorly. Imagine the time involved to prune thousands of those by hand! 30 minutes a plant with that much overgrowth

LOVED your video, as always! Thank you! Do you (or anyone else reading this) happen to know if planting multiple blueberry bushes of the SAME "self-pollinating" variety still gives the benefits of "cross" pollination? I need a consistent line of shrubs per the HOA (not a mix of varieties). I'd love to do a line of blueberries, but hate to miss the extra production that comes with cross pollination. TIA for any info!

Wow those are huge. Mine are 25 years old and about 10ft tall. Any taller and I won't be able to reach

Gas powered hedge trimmer can be handy
