The blueberry bush is doing well. The customer service is awesome. They recommend the 2 different varieties of blueberries that works best with each other. They're very generous with their knowledge and the instructions they sent were easy to read and understand. I couldn't be happier with my purchase or the company. I bought quite a few bushes, trees and a rose bush and although the rose bush is underwhelming everything else is thriving. Stark Brothers are my go to company for trees and bushes. They're eager to share their knowledge and they are very patient and easy to contact.

Blueberries!
This blueberry bush and my others are all growing wonderfully! After about three years I am getting a lot of blueberries. They taste great. I took the advice of another grower in the Chicago area. He said he uses a lot of acidic fertilizer. So I do and it all works great.

Highly recommend.
I am looking to purchase another Earliblue to replace the one I planted 25 years ago that died. I have 10 different varieties I planted and this was my favorite. The blueberries were always big, plump, and sweet, plus it was a high yielder.

It is growing fine i guess... it arrived in a pot.... i prefer bushes in pots rather than the bare root ones... They are just easier and more predictable than a dormant bare root bush.. - So My two blue berry bushes are doing fine... I am guessing they will grow fast next spring .. for now they look healthy with good healthy looking leaves and branches the same as when they arrived .. !
