Can I transplant a blueberry bush now, end of May?
I have three. Two are in sun and now one is in a lot of shade. It was planted two years ago and is small and not looking too good. Need to move it into the sun. Now or in the fall?
Thank you

Hi Pat,
I would go ahead and do it now. Blueberries have shallow roots so you want to give it as much time as possible to get established. Mulch it well after you plant it.
