Why did you choose this?

I have an elevated raised bed and I thought these would look nice there.

I was looking for the correct blueberry plant for container planting on my deck. I wasn't able to find one in my area.

Wanted to try something new plus it’s thornless!

Came back
Had some trouble with it at first, where all the leaves died. I think it went through a bit of shock, but it bounced back.

First spring and my one bush was full of berries.
I ordered this plant last year. It took off and grew right away. This spring, it was full of fruit. Unfortunately the birds bet me to it but they must have loved it because they didn't leave me a one. I've already ordered netting so from here on out, i'll be getting my berries. The plant though was full and lush and seems really happy. I used a square tomato cage to support it and it is working out great. Very happy with the plants growth and vigor.

Baby Berry Bush will soon have baby berries!
The baby blackberry bush is doing great! We've had a couple of blooms and now more blooms are opening. Looks like the first two blooms will soon be blackberries. It has been fun to watch it thrive. It has been so easy to care for; just water often, occasionally fertilize and keep it in a sunny spot. So happy with it.
