Blueberry Burst ^8/10

Comments: - I just love my new Blueberry plants. I bought 2 Blueberry Burst from Bunnings before I went interstate for a few days - I could not wait!  When I heard they are evergreen and bred for Australian gardeners, I just had to try them. Deciding at prsesent which variety I will choose next. My BB is loaded with flowers, and I don't want to take them off - we should do that for the strength of the plant. I may leave berries on one of them and compare the plants. Not sure if I will use different potting mix for each. They will be growing in Pots. 

Planted: 2015

Growing: In a Pot

Pollination: Self Pollination

Fertiliser or Organics Used: SOILCHARGE

Question: Would you recommend trying Peatmoss and Garden Sand for one of these plants if I want to venture? Peatmoss for acid and moisture and Sand for draining. Blueberry likes moisure but not wet feet and I'm planting them in Pots. 

Blueberry - Sunshine Blue (Seedling) ^8/10

Comments: - Thought I would have a few varieties of Blueberries, so I added this one. It looks lovely and healthy. I;m growing mine in pots but John Hartley says that they are a great plant for Edible Landscaping - that is a fast growing trend these days - because they have blue-green foliage for most of the year with shades of puple during the colder months followed by pink flowers in Spring. They can grow large crops of berries on a relatively short 150 chilling hours.

Unusual and extreme heatwave last year caused stress on plant. Even after moving into shaded protected area and lots of TLC, blueberry still died.
