The research was conducted at Sinacbat, Bakun, Benguet [Philippines] on a 300 sq m area with a soil pH of 5.5, slightly rolling and enclosed with interlink wires. Two types of planting materials, the balled and uprooted with a total of 196 blueberry plants which used to grow in the wild were used to study the performance when transplated in a cultivated lot and in a disparate environment. This is to reserve this high valued fruit since it is prone to extinction and being the provincial fruit of Benguet. Both balled and uprooted plants have the same growth performance except in yield where balled blueberrty plants produced more fruit due to broader crowns. On the split application of complete fertilizer (14-14-14), both demonstrated positive response as indicated by the growth of more slips at the base of all plants. In conclusion therefore, indigenous blueberries could be domesticated with promising performance to cope up with great demands of consumers.
