Set of 3 very productive blueberry plants
All thriving well and producing lots of delicious blueberries

This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
"Use rainwater for watering, as this is more acidic, and keep soil moist, especially when fruits start to swell"

Fantastic plant and beautifully packaged for delivery. Loads of flowers/tiny blueberries already forming and the bees absolutely love the flowers.

Was happy with this blueberry we had quite a lot of fruit even though it was it's first year, hoping to get even more this year.

Really pleased with this blueberry, it was a really good size and produced fruit the first season. Would happily recommend and buy again

As I only purchased this in July of last year, and potted it on in October,at present it is only showing the first signs of growth, it seems to be healthy and responding to the change in season. I am sure like all the purchases I have made from Crocus, it will not disappoint.

These are fully hardy so as long as it is not freezing and the ground isn't frozen or waterlogged you could plant now, otherwise it will be fine kept outside in the garden, in it's pot in a sheltered position where it won't get blown over, until you can plant out. Hope this helps

Hello There, I'm afraid you will have trouble getting a bumper yield of any of the edible crops if the bed receives little sun, as most of them need full sun. Ones that tolerate some shade include radish, potato, borage, horseradish, blueberry, blackberry and tayberry - all the others will flourish in the sun. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello Anne, You can either pot them up into an intermediate sized pot initially (say around 35-40cm diameter) and then move them up to a largish pot (around 60cm+) in a year or two, or pot them straight out into the larger pots. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Hello Kath, These plants are self fertile so they do not need a pollinating partner, although you will often get a bigger crop if they do have one. You should aim to get a pot at least 60 x 60cm and fill it with ericaceous compost. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

Thanks - I'll sort the pot out and then place an order. Kath

Hello Tammy, I'm afraid most fruit needs a good amount of sun to flourish, so this a north-east wall is really not an ideal spot. I don't think any of the trees will thrive, however you could try either Blueberries or a Tayberry. I'm sorry not to be more help.

Hello Mary, The plants are fully hardy so you don't need any protection in the winter. If you want to push the plant into producing more fruit, then you could feed them with Sulphate of Potash, which will give them a boost. I hope this helps, Helen Plant Doctor

Hello There, There are a number of reasons why plants don't flower or subsequently go on to produce fruit. These include too much shade, not enough water or nutrients, or pruning at the wrong time of the year. I am not really sure why your Dad's have not produced fruit, but you can often give them a bit of a push by feeding with a high potash fertiliser.

Many Blueberries are deciduous, so they do lose all their leaves in the autumn and don't put on new ones until the spring. This is a natural part of their life cycle and won't affect their long term health and vigour. Therefore, I would not give up on yours just yet, but do keep a look out for new growth in the spring.

Blueberries prefer moist, well-drained acidic soil, but they will grow in sandy or normal soil too. In a pot, your best option would be ericaceous compost.

Blueberries are vitamin-packed fruits that will fill the gap between strawberries and raspberries. These acid-loving plants thrive in moist, well-drained, acidic soil, but if you do not have these conditions in your own garden, they can be grown in large
