Thanks for the informative video! I'll need to be pruning this year and this video helped a lot! Thanks, Steve

First and foremost, thanks for this video. I agree with another post that it would have been more helpful to see a close up of you pruning what you called "the twiggie peaces". I'm guessing My Blueberry plant is 20 - 24 years old and I have never pruned. We noticed the blueberries were not as good as years past and during the fruit cycle the leaves were showing a lot of gray spots and many leaves turned brown and fell off before all the fruit was gone.
I trimmed it back last year but I didn't know your instructions and didn't remove the old shoots or the twiggie things.
My plant is still much higher than yours. Can you give us an update on cutting the correct height ?

It would have been a lot more helpful for us novices if you would have had many close-up shots of your pruning.

Can old blueberry bushes be saved by pruning? I have some that look like trees.

[@sharonrowland3041]

How do you prune taller trees? Mine have grown about 6’.

[@bonnieburnham2945]

what time of year do you do this?

[@zepguwlthistle7924]

it sure would be nice if you gave close up views of what he is talking about :( I still dont have any idea of what he calls weak or vigorous

[@mahdi768]

Hard to tell what you are doing in the long shots. More closeups would help explain it better.
