If you’ve ever heard that fat is more nutrient dense than carbs or protein, this is why—each gram of fat has more than twice as many calories....

However, many growers, particularly in colder regions, prefer to wait until late winter. Most blueberry plants don’t need to be cut back at all at planting time. However, if they have weak or broken stems, these should be removed. As difficult as it may be to do, you should remove all flower buds on new plants (these are visible in late winter and can simply be rubbed off)....
