Default Advice needed on growing blueberries.

Can anyone give me advice on growing Blueberries. I thought they could be
grown in containers but growing to a height of 5' seems rather high for a
patio.


They are fine in a 12-16" pot and self limiting in growth. You need two
distinct cultivars and when they have berries on they absolutely have to
be netted if you want to eat the berries rather than feed the birds.

Use rainwater and the occasional acid plant feed. They don't like lime.

Good crop this year.
