BLUEBERRIES WILL BE BACK IN STOCK AS OF 2/26/12. 3 TO 4 FEET TALL.

I was able to get some Blueberry plants from a Mississippi Blueberry farm.  These plants are 3 years old and about 3 feet tall. These varieties are what they grow in the fields for commercial sales. Blueberry plants can handle a lot of sun however they will grow to half size with only 1/2 day sun. You can plant Blueberries 2 feet from a east facing wall or a west facing wall. The bush will be just fine, about 8 feet tall with no growth on the shade side but ok on the other 3 sides.

I have 3 varieties for sale. Climax ripens in mid May. Premier ripens in June and Brighwell ripens in July.

Keep in mind you need two different varieties of Blueberry plants to make Blueberries.

Blueberry can be planted 4 feet apart for a hedge, 6 feet apart in a garden, 10 feet apart freestanding. Maxium distance for 2 plants is line of sight.

Blueberries grow very will if planted in Organic Potting Mix.
