Plant Blue Gold Blueberry in acidic, well-drained soil with a pH of 4.5-5.5. Choose a sunny location with at least 6-8 hours of sunlight daily. Space plants 4-5 feet apart. Water regularly to keep the soil consistently moist but not waterlogged. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced, acid-specific fertilizer. Prune annually in late winter to remove dead or weak branches and encourage new growth. Protect from birds with netting if necessary.
