The first reason is hardness zone considerations, second is the description of the appearance of the bush and third is the fruit size described.

small size and it sounds yummy!!!
Bradlee A on Aug 31, 2016
I had read about these in Better Homes And Gardens a few years ago. They are going in a new area behind an addition to the back of my house. I like that the leaves are shades of pink and the flowers are white. I like plants that are both attractive and edible.

When do you prune? I had read that you should prune only the fruiting stems after harvesting...
Kristen M on Jul 4, 2017
BEST ANSWER: The do not need cutting back the first year except to remove fruit buds shortly after planting. Pruning should be moderately heavy in the second year to stimulate strong new growth on selected canes. I am attaching a link to our Growing Guide pruning section.

What size pot should I buy to put the bushel and berry plants into (diameter and height)?
Lai N on Apr 8, 2017
BEST ANSWER: A 20" container would be ideal.
What blueberry should I plant with 'Pink Icing?"
Sharon R on Mar 23, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Pink Icing is self-pollinating, so it will set fruit by itself, but if you were looking for other container-friendly blueberry recommendations, then any of the other Bushel and Berry varieties (Blueberry Glaze, Jelly Bean, Peach Sorbet, Perpetua) will work just fine. Really, any other blueberry plant is an option for you as long as it's recommended for your zone!
Are the blueberry pink icing bushels self pollinating?
Christine D on Dec 24, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes, they are.
How many years will it take to get to max size, when it starts in a quart pot?
Nico P on Oct 4, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Hi, Nico. That will depend upon the quality of the soil, how much sun it gets, whether it gets the right amount of water and what you feed it. If you take care of it well, it could reach full size in as few as 3 years, but it will bear fruit long before that.
In the fall does it loose its leaves?
Chris on Nov 12, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it is deciduous and loses its leaves eventually.
