Taste described on pink lemonade blueberry was different from the standard blueberry.
JOSHUA N on Jul 26, 2018
This is my second Pink Lemonade blueberry. It replaces one that didn't thrive in the hot Texas heat. I'm going to relocate the huge pot I put it in so it is shaded from the west afternoon sun to see if that works better. Blueberries grow in Texas, plus I have special soil to grow it in, so I am determined!!
CAROL F on Jul 8, 2018

The flavor of the Pink Lemonade Blueberry is unique and very delicious.

Because my little girl loves pink and she loves fruit. We have a couple of blue blueberry bushes already but I thought this would be fabulous and put a smile on my 5 year old daughters face. Thanks for offering it.

I want to plant 'Pink Lemonade' and see it is self pollinating. Will it also serve as a pollinator for other varieties such as Patriot?
christine on Mar 22, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it is able to pollinate itself as well as other blueberry plants.
What are the pros/cons between 4" pot and 1 gallon container, especially with regard to time to bear fruit?
Debby on Apr 16, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The 1 gallon has a better chance to survive and it will bare fruit usually in the 1st year. Larry.
Hi, I see that you can use this bush as an added pollinator. Will it change the taste of the berries if it cross pollinates with other berries?
Kelly L on Jul 29, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your question. The only time cross-pollination affects the flavor of edibles is if you harvest the seed from this year's crop and plant it next year, but that doesn't apply here. So the simple answer is no, using another variety to pollinate a blueberry bush will not affect the flavor, only the yield, which will be bigger.
Can I transfer these plants into the ground or do I have to keep them in containers?
Cassandra B on Feb 2, 2020
BEST ANSWER: yes, you can transfer them into the ground. As far as I can tell they don???t spread like raspberries (new shoots everywhere) They slowly grow more shoots from the base. If you do keep them in containers, I???ve found that the half whiskey barrel pots work well to start. It gives plenty of space for the roots.
My soil is clay and alkaline. I've always planted blueberries in pots to avoid soil pitfalls. Is it better to plant in pots instead of alkaline soils or will heavy mulching counteract?
maria r on Oct 18, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Soil pH takes time to alter, but can also vary greatly from one patch of soil to the next. There are tons of benefits to having blueberries in the ground instead of pots (unless the variety is specifically bred for pots), so if you want to make the shift towards ground planting I would suggest starting to shift the pH with slow-release minerals ASAP, put more into the planting hole at transplant, and side dress the plants where you want the roots to grow after establishment. Granted, you should test the pH at each step along the way to ensure you???re not going overboard with lowering the pH. In biologically active soils, plants have the means to secret enzymes to attract the microorganisms that will help to transform the soil to their preferred conditions, but it helps to give them a head start using organic rock supplements and biological inoculation via good finished compost.
In terms of amendments, elemental sulfur, diluted vinegar, and coffee grounds are some things that can work wonders to lower soil pH.
Can you eat the fruit?
Sue M on Apr 14, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it's just a different kind of blueberry. They're delicious, I have one at home. :-)
Does this plant do well in containers?
Brittany M on Mar 11, 2016
BEST ANSWER: Brittany, Both of my pink blueberry's are in large flower pots and doing great. They do get large, so pick a pot with that in mind.
how soon do you get berry's?
Craig on May 1, 2019
BEST ANSWER: You will get a few berries the first year, and many more the second/third years.
does pink blueberry grow in container?
aziz g on Mar 1, 2018
BEST ANSWER: Yes, it will grow very well in a container. Just make sure the soil pH is between 4.5 and 5.0.
Is this a GMO?
Eli D on Jul 6, 2019
BEST ANSWER: None of our trees, plants or seeds are GMO.
How many chill hours does the pink lemonade blueberries need?
Ann H on Jun 17, 2019
BEST ANSWER: These are rabbiteye blueberries, made for warmer climates. They only require 300-600 chill hours.
Will the one gallon size pink lemonade blueberry plants produce quicker than the ones in the 4 inch pot?
Michelle H on Feb 20, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes, the plant in the gallon pot will produce berries the first year, and then a lot the second year - a year ahead of the plant in the 4" pot.
What color are they when ripe? I have pink and blue fruit on it.
Cindy G on Jul 6, 2018
BEST ANSWER: The pink ones are ripe. :-) Delicious.
what size pot should I plant the Pink Lemonade blueberry in ?
Daniel M on Jun 10, 2018
BEST ANSWER: You can start with a 10" and repot when the roots reach the edges of the pot.

Perfection!
I started out with 2 plants and after tasting the 1st crops berries, I am hooked on the pinks! I find them more flavorful than the blues and they are very sweet. I ordered 8 more plants, sending 2 off to the little grand kids for their garden, keeping 6 for myself. I know when the grand kid visit they will be picking my berries.

Pink Lemonade Perfection
Out of the 10+ varieties of blueberries i grow, Pink Lemonade blueberries have the best flavor. They seem to have a sweet blueberry taste with a hint of kiwi. They are great! These easy-to-grow bushes have a dense willow leaf appearance and turn a brilliant pink in the fall. Berries are white, pink, or mixed white and pink. They are ripe when they lose any hint of green. I highly recommend Pink Lemonade blueberries. The FuNNy FarM

do not freeze well
These are very tasty, grow quickly and are easy to care for. Much sweeter than regular blueberries. But you cannot freeze them. The skin does not hold up so you wind up with a bowl of tasty mush. I would recommend these to anyone. I did not care for them only because of the freezing issue. I gave them to some one who loved them.

Pink Lemonade
The plants were extremely small so at least another 1-2 years before harvest most likely. I thought for the price it was not very much value.

I sell blueberries, and have wanted some new additions. I've had these plants about a year now and I'm pleased with their progress. Excited about these new plants!

Hardier than other blues.
This plant arrives as a PLANT, not a freeze-dried looking root ball, like I've gotten elsewhere. I over watered all my plants that spring, but it survived and grew well anyway. It doesn't taste much different from regular blueberries, but I am extremely pleased.

Can't wait to see.
This is the second year for this blueberry bush. I am expecting a nice yield.
The bush is healthy and strong so I know it will do well. I can't wait to see the yield
I get this year.

I have had this through two winters and it is growing nicely. This is the first time it has a couple of flowers on it. I cannot wait to taste the berries.

Doing well growing nicely
My Pink Lemonade Blueberries are doing well. I got them Jellybean and Summer Sunset Blueberries to pollinate them. I did not allow them to produce berries this year and may not next year. The important thing is to plant them well in plenty of good soil with peat moss and compost (the ph has to be low). I only used cottonseed meal 6-1-1 to start them off. They are pretty just as a bush, but will love to see and taste their fruit.

Neat Berry
This will be the first full season with them in the ground. They spent last summer in bigger pots healed into a nursery garden. They doubled in size and produced a few berries. Nice berries. Medium size, sweet. I look forward to cooking up a pink pie and some pink preserves.

Set them out at the end of winter in a new berry bed with a dozen other blueberries from Stark, bought and nursed in the same batch. Three of each variety for good pollination and a buffer for attrition. This is our third large berry bed. Can't have enough blueberries.

The Pink Lemonade was a much earlier starter, pushing out leaves and blooms 2 weeks earlier than the blue varieties. We are on the Ozark Plateau, zone 6 surrounded by 7. 1200' amsl.
