Pls help my dying (?) zone 7b blueberries
Hi! I got these blueberry bushes (Tif blue on left and powder blue on right) at the beginning of May, and they were doing well and producing lots of (small) berries and got lots of rain all thru May and the first half of June. Then it stopped raining, then we had a heat wave this week (south of Nashville). We gave them a good deep soak of water last night, but when I checked them today, this is what they looked like… to me (inexperienced), it looks like too much sun and definitely not enough water.
My instinct is to prune all the shriveled leaves (since they didn’t spring back after getting watered last night), move onto the patio for a few days (so they get partial sun instead of full sun to get a chance to recover) and continue to water deeply maybe every other day? I’m not sure how much water blueberries like?
My plan was to plant them on my FIL’s land in a full sun spot in the fall, but now I’m wondering if they’re going to get scorched every summer if I do that?
Thank you for all info and advice! I really want these to make it!!
