| Hello I noticed when out in the yard over the weekend all my blueberry plants are showing some strange growth. I notice some buds starting when we had a cold snap a few weeks ago but thought it was just new growth. Can you give me your opinion of what might be happening and if there is anything to worry about? The southern highbush verities shows the strange leave growth and one of Rabbit eye plants actually has flowers now. Could this be some sort of premature spring growth flush? See the attached pics |

| Here is the Rabbit Eye with flowers. |

| Mine are doing the same thing by design. I wanted bloom now in order to get early fruit next spring. This is in a greenhouse where it won't freeze. I forced flowers by pruning. It looks like you pruned recently. It won't affect next yrs production significantly even if your early flowers freeze. Protect the flowers from freezing and you might have some early fruit. Houston doesn't freeze that often and they'll survive a light freeze down to about 28F. You'll find unusually large berries if some survive. |

| One of mine, in a pot flowered too. I removed flowers, as it's going to freeze and freeze very hard. |
