....don't forget that you'll need acidic soil......we'll be prepping the soil here for them....

add sphagnum peat

Acidifying fertilizers can also be used to help raise acidity levels. Look for fertilizer containing ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, or sulfur-coated urea. Both ammonium sulfate and sulfur-coated urea are good choices for making soil acidic, especially with azaleas. However, ammonium sulfate is strong and can easily burn plants if not used carefully. For this reason, you should always read and follow label instructions carefully.

What is the pH of your soil up there?

..not sure but we have get peaches ....so it'll be around 6.0 - 7.0......

[Mugwump]

....ya know we had the bush in with the strawberries.....they require a PH of 5.5 - 6.5.....so that should be good enough for blue berries too.....

[LizStreithorst]

Obviously your problem wasn't due to the pH of the soil.  All I do is neglect mine and they're fine

....the raspberry bushes we got with the blueberry bush......did great too....my thinking is that it wasn't a healthy purchase...

Could be...You should think of plating the new ones in a fresh bed in case there is some kind of root disease still lucking in the soil.

LOL...any lurking disease is allowing all the strawberries, Blackberries, and raspberries to grow like crazy now.......but we're moving the blueberry location anyway to give the raspberries more room...

There are root diseases specific to their favorite plant.
