I wanted a container blueberry plant
Joanna S

If planting blueberries in a container what size should the container be?
BEST ANSWER: Mature blueberries need a container at least 24 inches deep and about 24-30 inches wide. When planting smaller shrubs, start with a smaller container and repot as it grows. Repot in late summer - early fall so roots have enough time to grow before winter.

How do you keep squirrels off persimmon trees? K Uyeda
BEST ANSWER: We appreciate you reaching out to us. Common squirrel deterrents for fruit trees include Ro-Pel, capsaicin or hot pepper oil and sticky topical applications for trunks and limbs. A simple metal collar 2 feet (0.6 m.) wide around the trunk of a tree prevents entry to the canopy of the fruit tree too.

I have an plan to buy this silver dollar and pink icing plant. Do you think these are suitable for pollination?
BEST ANSWER: We appreciate you reaching out to us. Blueberries are self pollinating and do not require another variety to bear fruit. However planting a second variety will increase your crop yield.

It arrived mostly dead and customer service won't respond
This plant arrived mostly dead. It's leaves were crumpled and all fell off the next day. It was also a minuscule specimen of a plant. It wasn't in transit very long and the soil was moist when it arrived so I can conclude that this little plant was shipped in this terrible condition. The worst part however is that customer service hasn't responded to my request for refund or replacement and I contacted them almost two weeks ago. I'd give it zero stars if I could.
