The Bluecrop is quite small at the mement - when moving it from the
garden centre's pot, should I put it in a container big enough to
support the full grown bush, or can I use a smaller one to start with
and then move it up again in a few years ?


I put mine straight into a wooden "pot" - about an 18" cube. It has
flourished.

It really does depend on what size plant the OP bought. If it's a baby in a
one litre pot, putting it into the much larger, final sized pot he has in
mind for a full grown bush, would not do it any good.
