How tall will the blueberry plants be when I receive them?
Plant height will vary by variety. 2 yr. old plants are usually between 10” on the half-high varieties up to 24” on some highbush blueberries. Plant height is not as important as a good root system.

What kind of soil works best for Blueberry plants?
Sandy or sandy loams provide the best drainage. On heavy clay soils, care must be taken to avoid waterlogged soils. It is best on heavy soils to plant on raised beds, amended with acidic organic matter. Digging a hole in clay just creates a bucket that holds water and the blueberry plant drowns after a heavy watering.
When is the best time to plant Blueberry plants?
Our blueberry plants are all grown in containers, so you have a long season available to plant. The best time to plant is when you have your beds prepared and irrigation ready to go. We ship blueberries (weather permitting) from March to early June. We then start shipping again in September into late November.
