I have 6 small blueberry plants planted last year in a raised bed beneath my large maple tree. It is south facing, so they get some morning sun until 10:30 and a tiny bit of afternoon sun between 2:30 and 4:00 though in the afternoon its filtered and scattered light usually. They havent flowered this year, but I also attribute that to me not pinching off their flowers last year and because I didnt have the proper PH for them.

I dont think last uear has any effect on if they bloom this year.
Mine already bloomed and have lots of green berries. I don't know what your timing would be
Sorry!
Plant it and they will come.

Blueberries make buds for next year's flowers on this year's bushes, so since they got so rattled last year i assume they didnt make any (except the one that did for some reason) and yeah... I hope to get more next year and I think I will because Im watering properly and doing everything right now except less sun than ideal, but enough for strawberries, so im probably worrying over nothing. Thanks!
