It can take a blueberry bush approx. 3-4 years before it reaches its mature size.
You can absolutely plant these next to one another - they should be spaced 5-6' apart.
The one gallon blueberry plants did not bloom the first year. The stress of the transplanting kept them from blooming the first year. Although they did get quite established the first year and grew nicely, lots of leaves and stem growth, no flowers or fruit production happened.
They should bloom the second year, although mine did not because rabbits got to them and ate most of the years growth. This is the third summer and they are now flowering.
not sure. I'm guessing it would. Ours are in the ground and are doing great. They are temperamental with ph levels. hope this was helpful.

Yes you can, Head back” the upright “bull shoots” to the desired height to keep the bush from growing too tall. Essentially, you have then automatically selected the remaining, more upright canes to bear your crop next season and the following season.
They are fun to watch grow !!!!!!!
need to replace old bush
I chose this, because it was both organic and an heirloom variety.
From the research I found here, this will grow well in my area.
