While there is not first or last date to fertilize blueberry bushes, the general rule of thumb is to fertilize blueberries in the spring before their leaves have grown in. This is so that the blueberry fertilizer has time to penetrate the soil and make it to the roots of the blueberry bush before it enters active growth. You should be fertilizing blueberries once a year. Typically, they do not need fertilizing more often than this.
When to Fertilize Shrubs. Rose bushes are heavy feeders that appreciate two doses of fertilizer each year. Appropriate doses of fertilizer are key to many shrubs' health. Along with water, carbon dioxide and the sun's energy, fertilizer provides nutrients that shrubs and other plants use to create their food. However, before you shower the soil with fertilizer, it's wise to consider not only a safe dosage for your garden's bushes, but also the appropriate timing. Feeding shrubs at the wrong time of year can negate the beneficial effects of the fertilizer, while proper timing can stimulate new growth and promote flowering.
