Nice job repotting your PL Blueberry bushes, Dani. They look great now and probably appreciate the extra room. Good point about the different varieties needing cross-pollination to produce well. And yes, acidic soil is so important. I'm actually cloning some of my blueberry bushes this year because I'm always in favor of more blueberries! 😊
For the peach leaf curl, this is the perfect time to spray either with copper or sulphur. Unlike the USA, copper fungicide is not available in Canada - unless you are farmer. Last winter , I used sulphur. It’s a low cost and widely available. I had good success with multiple application during the fall/ winter months.
I don't know which sprays are available here, but I really wanted to avoid spraying it, and keeping it dry last year really worked...at least as far as peach leaf curl was concerned. I just didn't get any fruit. The tree was young and small, though, so we'll see how it fares this year.

Oh, how fun! I love making free plants and you can never have too many berries - especially blueberries 🫐 ❤💗
Nice healthy looking bushes Dani, i guess they'll thrive in their new pots 😁😊
I do hope so. I should have repotted them ages ago. It's just about finding time to get all these little jobs done.
