Blueberry Experts

16 years ago

Okay my blueberry experts (Christine and Tom). Getting ready to order sunshine blues from either Hartman or Heartland Nursery. Their plants are 6-10" (4" pot). Is that large enough? Is sure sounds small. Parks does not ship until March and theirs are the same size. Anything else I should be looking for...like age of plants???

Thanks

I got a Sunshine Blue from Parks so I assume it was that size. It grew well. You may want just go to Lowes and get some sunshine blues for $8.95. They are in stock now.

The Sunshine blues that I ordered from Parks last spring came in tiny 4 inch pots. They did grow well during the year and are now beginning to bloom. I bought a few more at Lowes recently. Lowe's had them in one gallon pots. So, for half the price (plant cost plus shipping), Lowe's is the better deal.

So, I guess, to repeat what the others said, if anyone is thinking of buying any Sunshine blues check out Lowes.

I also bought a few ShareBlues. We'll see how they do.

Gary, I forgot to answer your blueberry plant size question. If the plants are well rooted, a small 4" size should be ok. I would just keep a closer eye on it making sure it doesn't get too dry. I didn't get my order from Parks until March last year. There's nothing wrong with that.
