I don't know ho limited a space you have, but just like a blueberry bush. You can grow them in containers and make sure the get plenty of sun, at least 6 hours. I've found them to still grow in semi-shady areas. But the more sun the more production and sweeter berry's you'll get. I love these berries they're sweeter than blueberries and like neutral soil you don't have to create an acid soil mix.......hope this helps.......keep on growing food .
