Blueberry Emergency Please Help!
## Something is wrong. I don't know what. It's a Blueberry Emergency and I need your help!
Please take a look at this poor little bush, it's in need and I don't know what to do. Can you be my Blueberries hero?

These two blueberries are very important to me and I'm freaking out that one of them might be dying. Now you might ask how important can a single blueberry be? It's just a blueberry right?
Well yes it's just a Blueberry, but It has an enormous meaning for me and I'll be devastated if it dies.
If you've read my [Introduction](https://steemit.com/introduceyourself/@overthewait/greetings-and-salutations-steemers-all-please-allow-me-to-introduce-myself-i-m-bryan-and-i-m-thrilled-to-be-here) post you will know that my grandmother passed this year, and what that meant to me.

 What I didn't say in that post is that Dawn passed away less than a week short of Mothers Day and just a few short hours before her second daughter, my aunt, got in from across  the country to see her.
Both Grandma, my mother and aunt all loved to eat Blueberries and as Mothers Day was a difficult time for my Mum I bought these Blueberry bushes for her present and as a living tribute for Dawn's last Mothers Day.

<center><sub>*Some of the leaves are partially dead or discoloured.*</sub></center>
***
So now you can see why these particular Blueberries hold meaning for us all.

#### If you have ANY idea what is going on here please PLEASE let me know, I'll be forever in your debt.

Some of my blueberry bushes had this same sort of red leaf problem a few months ago.  I dug in some fresh (ericaceous) compost around them and they recovered putting out fresh green leaves after a few weeks.

Have you found any kind of bugs on the plant? Any moles eating the roots?

This looks like it can be a plant disease too and I don't know if it can be helped if it's the case. In best case, it's lack of nutrients showing or the temperatures have been bad for the plant.

I'd recommend giving some fertilizers to the plant to see if it helps. It's the best thing you can do right now.

I'm terrible at growing things in pots. They inevitably die on me. So I'm not advocating that you take any advice from me, but just putting a thought out for you. We have rather high salt levels in the soil here so when you put in a plant from a garden centre it can react a bit like that. I think its called salt burn.

Thanks for the tip, i'll look into that  as we are right on the coast here. sorry it took me a while to see this comment. The plant is less red on the edges now but it's too soon to see if the treatment has worked. Any tips are appreciated so thank you for taking the time  :-)
