Questions & Answers
Thank you for your question! Our Brazelerries will typically take 1-2 years to reach maturity and bear fruit. The small gallon container can reach maturity approximately one season sooner than the quart size container.
I had one that was growing out of the bottom of the original container, I cut it before transplanting.
Yes, I too live in zone 6, and I leave mine outside in their containers in a sheltered north-facing area. If it gets extra-cold, like into single digits, I do bring them inside my unheated garage.
Thank you for your inquiry! If grown in a container, you can bring this plant inside an unheated shed or garage during the winter while it is dormant.
This is my first full season with mine, it looks like I'll get a third -half a quart possibly a little more full grown maybe a quart conservatively excited to see my self
Sounds like you picked them too early. The darker they get the sweeter they tend to be. I’m in zone 6b and mine are blue but not ready to be picked yet. Good rule of thumb is to try one and see where it’s at prior to picking them all. If it’s tart leave them for a while.
My plants are in the ground & have not reached full size because the rabbits find them so delicious.
Their size is highly suitable for growing in containers, but you can certainly grow them in the ground if you prefer.
We recommend replanting in a 12–16″ container using good-quality potting soil. As your plant matures, you will likely need to put it in a 20–24″ diameter container. Your plant will start producing fruit in the second year.
The first thing to do is check the soil pH. If it's not between 4.5 and 5.0, that's why it's not growing. You will need some soil acidifier and some blueberry fertilizer to keep the soil pH low.

Thanks so much
I want to plant this in a container and this will work perfectly.
Wanted to try something new.
I was interested in a patio blueberry bush that could be grown in a pot. Also shipping fees were a nominal price.
It works in my zone and I want to put them into containers
