Limp leaves on my blueberry (help!)

[abby]

I hear we are going to have a frost in Northwest for a few days so was having a look at my new blueberry's and noticed some of the leaves drooping should I cover with fleece ?.Advice please

If it's in a pot why not fetch it inside if you have frost forecast. If your not able to do that I'd fleece and bubble wrap just to be on the safe side. But if you leaves are drooping does it need a drink, what kind of compost is it in?
Blueberry's like acid soil or ericaceous compost if you can get your hand's on some pine needles mix them into the soil around the plant. Hope this help's.

Have given it a drink as you suggest all soil and requirements ie ericaceous compost and pine needles all ready done and pot in very sheltered spot so will cover up and hope for best..

My 1-year-old blueberry's leaves have gone brown. Last year when it did that they eventually dropped off. This year though it's got some flowers so I'm hoping I'll get some fruit if this brown leaf thing isn't an issue.

Droopy leaves almost always mean lack of water.

Blueberries are fully hardy.
Unless the plant has just been moved out of a greenhouse, there is no need for frost protection.

No lack of water up in Lancashire at the moment the only thing I can think is I bought it from g centre weeks ago and put it in a pot near fence were it can get looked after but the only thing I can think is it was brought on too much under cover and the shock of this cold snap has checked it may be best to cut back and hope for fruit next year .What do you all think?

Sounds like lack of water. I always use rainwater for my blueberries.
