I bought and planted my blueberry bush at the beginning of the year. I've added the recommended soil acidifier. It has 2 new shoots but has these weird spots. Do I leave it, or should i add more acidifier?
Ours died like this this year! Got completely yellow

Spots are a fungus called brown spot or black spot. You might consider a spring antifungal or an application of baking soda and water. Not sure about the red leaves, I’ve got those as well on my bushes

It’s preparing for dormancy. Check the ph and add if needed but some of the color changes could be normal autumn change and reduced light if the acidity is good

Genuine question; is that style of bucket popular/ideal for berries? I intend to grow a blackberry bush next year and was planning on a fabric pot.
