Hi Kate, I'm after OB1 as well - I'm told it is the collar rot resistant version of my Berry 5 which is GREAT. Where did you get you OB1s ? Thanks

Hi, Sorry, I did a close up on your picture and found you got them from Ladybird Nursery. Oops.

Blueberry - Kisses (PBR) (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: - Burst and Kisses sit side by side in pots enjoying each others company until the area is ready in the ground for them. They are both happy, healthy, bountiful plants :) I do recommend.

Blueberry - Gulfcoast (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: - Happy plant, even though our dog "pruned" it by snapping the tallest branch off that I then tried to propagate as a cutting (it didn't work). At least it will grow back, it is a healthy happy bush even if it is now shorter than the others.

Blueberry - Sunshine Blue (Cutting) ^10/10

Comments: - gorgeous healthy happy pretty plant. We plan to make a blueberry hedge, we have 9 blueberry plants, all different, three in ground, 6 in pots. The ones in pots are just waiting for an old weed tree to be cut down by hubby when he gets time. Then the hedge will be grown along the fence for delightful use by our kids and our neighbours' kids. Yum!

Question: Any idea why this one is so unhappy? We have 9 blueberries (one each of Misty, Biloxi, Sharpeblue, OB1, Sunshine, Gulf, Burst, Kisses, and Brightwell) but this one all the leaves curles and dropped and it's just twigs now. Same conditions, potted, same soil mix (Searles Peat 80 mixed with peat moss and a seasol drink when potted then fertilised with dunamic lifter and mulched with peat moss).

Blueberry - Biloxi (Cutting)

Comments: -

Plant arrived in Feb 2020 in great condition with soil still damp. Will plant this into a pot after 1-2 weeks outside and provide updates. 

Planted in Rose, Gardenia, Azalea and Camellia potting mix - after a few weeks had some trouble with leaves turning yellow with green veins and browing of leaf tips. pH testing showed the soil had a neutral pH close to 7. Added some urea to the soil and have gradually seen improvment in the leaves. Flower buds forming May 2020. 

Jan 2021 after flowering and fruiting (much less prolifically than blueberry burst & kisses), the plant unfortunately died - likely a combination of inconsistent watering over a hot summer & ?soil pH too high.
