Greg, I meant if there were just a limited number of good vines left to remove them and re-start them, cutting the rest back completely. It's been my experience that a plant works hard to "revive" damaged parts and you can lose a plant by letting bad damage die back naturally. I suspect this has something to do with the limitations we put on them when we grow them in pots... Whatever the reason, I find a damaged plant has a better chance of surviving with a severe pruning. Not only surviving, I might add, but eventually flourishing better than before. I actually found this out by accident. At the risk of telling the same story over and over and boring the long-time readers... I've had German Shepherd dogs for many years. If you've never had one, you probably aren't familiar with their overly-enthusiastic tail-wagging, the signal of the "happy dance" when Mom or Dad comes home. The "dance" has resulted in many, many - uh - "pruned" plants. I used to get really upset until I realized that those "pruned by the dance" seemed to look awsome after they recovered. Thus began my no-fear attitude towards pruning. Yes, you'll have a crappy looking plant for awhile, but in the end, you'll be rewarded... As for flowers, patience is the key. If you do have to prune it clear back, I would start (for a year or so...) with a general fertilizer that will encourage foliage (like Miracle Grow...) Once you've got some good foliage, then in spring and summer, use a bloom booster fertilizer. Plenty of sun (that is, indirect sun in your neck of the woods!), fresh air, warmth... that should do it! Sorry to hear your damage is so extensive. I think we've ALL learned this lesson the hard way! Denise in Omaha

Wonder if you ever found out the problem with your blueberries. It might be that the location may be too hot. I find that part shade [dappled] to full shade seems to work the best for the blueberries. Blueberry leaves will fry in the full sun here in our desert climate. Make sure that they are planted in very composted and acid type soil. Water several times a week. I also provide overhead spray for humidity.

Before it started "dying" i didn't use any pesticide, but once I saw it and saw the spiders we sprayed with Ortho Home Defense 3 in 1 insect killer. We only sprayed once. I don't think the blueberry is dead though... As for the Iron deficiency , I bought Miracle Grow for acid loving plants. Will try that tomorrow and see if it heals! I checked the pH in the soil and it was actually 7. So hopefully it is just iron deficiency. The roots are in good shape :)

I agree with Paul. Drought or fertilizer burn. It's easy to do! I have done it! Even with organics! Make sure the root ball is moist, net wet, and NEVER dry. Hard to say of they will make it. Blueberries are more for experienced gardeners. Not the best choice for a beginner. Don't use tap water to water them either. Well untreated, you must acidify the water or use rain water. Their are many blueberry threads here that describe care and managing blueberries.
