Plant description
The neat and compact habit of this blueberry gives it a Buxus-like look, but it has the added bonus of a bumper crop of delicious blueberries.
Vaccinium M BerryBux is ideal for pots, but it will also make a wonderful addition to the front of a border, and can even be used to create a low hedge. The spring flowers are attractive to bees, while the autumnal tones that the foliage takes on before it is shed adds another layer of interest.

How to care for Vaccinium BerryBux ('ZF08095') (PBR) (Brazelberry Series):
Prepare the planting site by ensuring acidic, well-drained soil, and improve it with ericaceous compost if needed. Blueberries also do well in large pots filled with ericaceous compost.
Water regularly, especially during dry spells, to keep the soil moist but not waterlogged. Prune in winter by removing dead, damaged, or weak branches to encourage healthy growth. After pruning, feed lightly in spring and add a layer of ericaceous mulch to help retain moisture and maintain soil acidity.
Harvest the berries when they are fully ripe and have a deep colour, picking regularly to encourage more fruit.

Please note:
This plant is deciduous so it will lose all its leaves in autumn, then fresh new foliage appears again each spring.
