Hi Has anyone got a blueberry plant?

I keep mine in pots. They do need acid soil, but I have been using normal compost then add an acidic feed and they fruit and look fine. They are very little trouble,have few if any problems and give fruit in Aug-Sept.

If you can keep the birds off them!

I should add that I also add a mulch made of pine tree clippings (from neighbours Christmas trees), so soil is prob more acidic than I say. Bird do not eat mine, yet! Good crops this year with the wet weather and the leaves are a lovely red, so you also get autumn colour as well as fruit.

Snoopdog, would a plant grown from a cutting serve as a pollinator for the parent or do you need a different variety?

They are self fertilizing, though you apparently get more fruit with mixed varieties. You only need to use rain water if tap water is very hard.

Thank you for all your help. Now have it planted up in a pot with the acid soil. Just have to wait and see what happens how ...
