I only have one and have only had it six months but I am impressed it it 'Sunshine Blue'. I picked almost a cup of berries the other day and I just planted it from a gallon pot a few months ago in dappled shade.

'Sunshine Blue' has nice foliage and seems to be a standout at local garden centers. However, a friend gave me some fruits to try this summer and I found them sub-par, with an aftertaste. He said he liked them, somebody else I mentioned this to also replied that they thought the flavor was fine.

If the planting site is overshadowed by or near taller conifers you may have a problem with weevil damage. Have you noticed this on existing plants?

I presently have 5 Hibush blueberry plants overwintering in Spagmun Peat Moss in 10 Gal. containers, which I intend to transfer to Halfbarrels in the Spring. My biggest concern is "SOIL". I intend to use Spagmum Peat Moss. I would like to add finely chopped trimings from acid loving evergreen trees, plus homemade compost, both of which I have an ample supply. I will also use Perlite for drainage. My question is: IN WHAT PROPORTIONS SHOULD I MIX THE ABOVE? I also intend to fertilize with 30-10-10 Liquid, and use a vinegar water mix occassionly between fertilizering.
I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.....Thankyou...
Any critisim would also be welcome. Thanks again...

You may want to check out the Containers forum. I've attached an appropriate link for your review :-)

Container soils have rather exacting requirements because of the closed environment they present. Most container soils have no soils in them at all and limit organic matter to the bare minimum or to very slow to decompose components, as garden soils, compost, or uncomposted plant parts provide too small a particle size or decompose too rapidly to provide the aeration and good drainage container growing requires.

The soil mix I'd recommend is 5 parts bark fines, 1 part peat moss and 1 part perlite, pumice, turface or other high fired clay product. Or a Gardner & Bloome or Master Nurseries soil mix for acid lovers - everything you need is already there and in correct proportions. Add a slow release fertilizer like Osmocote according to directions when planting. You do not need to adjust for soil pH nor do you need to water with a dilute vinegar solution - this mix should test out at around 6.0, which is perfectly acceptable for blueberries. And our water supply is on the acidic side anyway.

For ongoing fertilization, I'd go with MiracleGro for Acid Lovers (formerly Miracid) or other similar water soluble acidic fertilizer or any granulated fert formulated for Rhododendrons, Azaleas and Camellias.
