All the information is on the Blueberry Growers website.
They are down in Hampshire, on the right soil.
Just tap in 'Blueberries'. It should come up.

I had mine on Northamptonshire Limestone soil, results were very disappointing.

I took them home, replanted them into large plastic tubs filled with Ericaceous compost, and they have grown beautifully. Must remember to fix some netting over to protect them from birds later on.

from rhs encyclopedia

they fruit on 2/3 year old wood. new bushes need little pruning for 2/3yrs, but cut out weak shoots (good boy). thereafter prune to ensure new shoots by removing oldest wood each yr
