Blueberry bush is just a stick

They do best in full sun but need a ton of water. Mine are 5 years old and still puny, probably because I never watered them much.

FWIW, they are all leafed out and covered in flowers now.

I never get more than about 50 berries off one bush and maybe a dozen on the other.

We've had only one bush for many years. Plenty of fruit if I can get to them first, the chipmunks and birds love them.

Cross-pollination generally helps increase fruit.

Birds seem to get most of my berries
