Hello all,
I hope somebody can help me.
I began growing blueberries in a raised bed last autumn, I was looking forward to a fair amount of fruit despite my young bushes. But now it seems a good half of my flowers have fallen off, I’m not sure if this a problem or completely normal. Does the fruit not form under the blossom? Could it be the high winds we’ve been having or perhaps the birds? See photos attached for the worst of the damage.
