I have two spindly Blueberry Bushes and wondered if I cut them back
considerably if they would bear more fruit. If so, when would be th
best time to do so?

What month do your bushes bloom? Some bushes bloom on last year's
growth, so if that is the case you will get less fruit.

Remove any branches that are peeling bark as they are beyond 5 years
in age, cut them as close to the ground as you can.
This will stimulate the production of new wood which will bear heavily
from year 2-5.
Do your pruning in March.
