Questions & Answers
Because this variety has performed well in zone 4, where -15 degrees F is not unusual. You should still consider applying winter protection (like straw for insulation) if your area is known to dip to lows of -20 and -30 degrees F.
Deer are rats with antlers. They eat anything and everything. You need a fence, and bird netting
Bluecrop and Jersey would be two of the better varieties to serve as pollinators.
Our bushes loose their leaves in autumn. They leaf again in spring.
Never had to- it stays compact (about 4' high) and stays healthy.
Blueberries have tiny seeds.. smaller than carrot seed.. maybe 1/4 their size at the most.
Yes, but not too much. They like something close to full sun. I have several Chandlers in opartial sun, and they are doing well.
Yes. 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.
We only recommend planting if you have 4-6 weeks before your first freeze.
