From Pale Yellow to Healthy Green: Premiere Blueberries Bounce Back

Premiere blueberries put on a dramatic transformation this month. In April, many plants showed pale yellow foliage, a classic sign of high soil pH slowing iron uptake. To correct the issue, the soil pH was lowered to 4.5 using elemental sulfur. As temperatures warmed, soil biology activated, and the plants were fertilized with an acid‑loving fertilizer to support new growth.

By May 27, the change was unmistakable. Fresh flushes of healthy green leaves emerged, and the plants regained their vigor. This quick turnaround is a great reminder that blueberries respond fast when the soil environment is corrected. Proper pH, warm weather, and the right fertilizer make all the difference.
