DH was spraying wasp and hornet stuff this past weekend, and some of it seems to have carried over to my best looking blueberry bush! What was once loaded with leaves and the beginnings of berries, is now looking almost dead :hit
I realize there is nothing I can do for it to have berries this year, but is there anything I can do to keep it alive for future production?

how big is it? if not too large maybe dig it up and give it fresh soil? otherwise flush with water, possibly getting rid of the poison. also sounds like more than just drift.

That's what I was thinking. After all, he didn't use an herbicide. Maybe you have nematodes?

I watered it, jus tin case. It is about knee high. All the bushes are planted in that area, but this one was right next to the front concrete pad in front of the door. About 1/2 of it is still nice and green, the other 1/2 is brown and dead looking - which is why I thought it was spray drift. What else do you think it could be?
