Too late to repot apples and blueberries ?

I was thinking on Easter Monday of repotting my apple trees and blueberries into bigger planters (20 in for the apple trees instead of 18 now) and the bueberries will go into the apple tree planters.

Is it too late or assuming I water them carefully next week, can I do it ?

I have done mine in blossom in an emergency they were fine..but please make sure you don't use regular compost for the blues they hate it and will not flourish
When God blesses you with a multitude of seeds double  the blessing by sharing your  seeds with other folks.

You will get away with it if you do it quickly and don't disturb the root ball too much. Have your new pots ready with soil available etc, so you can go straight from one pot into another.
And yes, ericaceous compost for the blueberries.
And, don't worry too much about watering them at the moment - if they aren't in leaf they won't need masses of water, and depending on how cold it gets round your way this Easter you don't want to allow the roots to get frozen solid.

are the blueberries already blossoming?
Not really the leaves are only just coming into bud.
