Great quality
Very healthy blueberries. I bought two Bluejay bushes from Stark brothers and two Rubel bushes from another nursery. Those from Stark brothers look great, the others are struggling. I will definitely be a repeat customer.

BLUE BERRY STARTS
In 2014 made a purchase of two blueberry plants. They are growing better than I thought they would considering their small size when I got them. Hopefully they will produce lots of berry's in 2017 as it takes that long to get them fruit berring.
I also bought grape starts several years ago and hopefully with weather permitting I will see grapes this year. I would recommend stark's. They are experienced growers. Tony Streacker.

Came back!
Bought this last year and it established itself well. Looks hardy this spring even though it is still small. Hoping to get some blueberries from it this year.

Blue Jay
Well I bought an assortment of blue berries last spring they came nicely packed.I had one that did not look good so I was careful with it.It did die and stark replaced it for me.They did pretty good last summer so I ordered more this spring they are small but looks nice.I gave it a four because I am waiting to see how they grow this year All together I will have 25 plants and hoping for a nice harvest in a few years.I would recommend stark I have good luck with them I have been ordering from them a few years now with other items.

Looking good
The first year we bought I was a little concerned they wouldn't make it and didn't seem to grow much. This is the second year now and they are growing like crazy now. They have already doubled in size by mid May.
The plants held up to a hard Michigan winter - 10 below. The plants were planted two years ago. I just bought 6 more. John
Just good rich blueberry. Perfect for pies, and the local wildlife love them.
There were a number of good reviews, and I have half a dozen different varieties, so still testing...
What to try this variety.
