Blueberry growing!
In article ,
says...
Hello I'm new here,
I'm a chilli grower and I thought I should also grow Blueberries as
buying them from the supermarket is expensive and they don't have as
much of their useful nutrients and vitamins as opposed to being freshly
picked and eaten straight.
I'm interested in growing the variety 'Sunshine Blue' as it's compact
and is suited for container growth but other varieties such as
'Bluecrop' also catch my eye. I'll be buying online from Blackmoor
Nurseries.
Do Blueberries crop in their first year? They advertise the plants in
1l pots as 1 year old so they would have a thick main branch?
Any help regarding Blueberry growing and more specifically Blueberry
growing, would be great.
Thanks
Test your soil, they need acid soil or you will have to grow them in
containers
