I have a sngle bush of each of the above and I beleive they need acidic soil - is there anything 'organic' I can add to my soil to make it more acidic?
I top mine up with leaf mulch twice a year and when they grow too big for pot , i re-pot with some fresh ericaceous compost.
If you can get hold of conifer needles (any forestry plantations near you?) that would do it. They produce lots of humic acid as they rot.

Thats a great idea (should have thought of that myself) - I will pick some up the next time I am out with the dog - thanks.
we mulch with wood chippings and leaves, they seem to like it :)
I believe for the blueberry you will need another plant of a different variety of blueberrie to get effective pollination and maximum yield.
