First year of trying blueberry plants and these dudes just don’t look all that healthy…leaves are tinged red and foliage isn’t super thick. Some of them had fruit blossoms, but it’s like they weren’t healthy enough and jettisoned them. Planted into ~50/50 mix of peat moss and compost, but not fertilized. Watering once per week when there’s no rain.
They have moderate deer pressure (2x in last month) if that makes a difference. I just haven’t gotten to caging them in.

Sounds like you’re doing everything right. Make sure the pH is right, other then that they may just be adjusting to being transplanted. Give them time, they honestly look fine for first year plants. It may take a few years for any kind of crop. This is my third year with blueberries and this is the first time they’ve flowered and held fruit.
Too cold?
