    Blueberries help - my blueberries continue to struggle with an unknown disease or problem: many leaves and side branches turn brown then shrivel and die. When I cut off the dead part, about a week or so later the end of the newly cut branch begins to die and creeps towards the center of the plant. If the dead part passes a section of blueberries, the fruit begin to shrivel and look severely dehydrated, more like tiny raisins. I live in New York. They get plenty of water, good half-day sun (am), and fertilizer for acid loving plants.
    Please help me solve the mistery, and give me some advice to help it. Many thanks.

    Could it be possible that you are applying too much fertilizer? maybe stop the fertilizer for a while and see if it helps.
    I also know blueberries need plenty of moisture, but overwatering can also be a problem. At work, I notice overwatered plants also turn black, crispy and eventually lose limbs or die! good luck! keep us posted!
