Product details
Product information
This remarkable new development in blueberry breeding has all the excellent qualities of the best-known blueberries, only the fruits are actually a beautiful shade of rose-pink when fully ripe! They have the same great flavour as a blueberry, but even sweeter. Not only can you enjoy a fantastic yield of these deliciously sweet berries during summer, but this lovely fruit bush provides a really long season of interest too. Adorned in white flowers during spring (which the bees love), followed by pink fruit in summer, then as autumn approaches the leaves turn bright orange before fading to a deep red. Tasty fruit, low maintenance and also a real looker - you really couldn’t ask for much more from a plant!Blueberries require a well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny or semi shaded position. In areas where acidic soil does not naturally occur, grow blueberry plants in patio containers using a mix of ericaceous compost and John Innes No. 3. If possible, blueberries should be watered with rainwater because the lime contained in tap water will reduce the acidicity in the soil over time. Blueberries will begin to produce fruit in their third year. As fruits begin to develop, cover the plants with netting to protect the berries from birds. From their third year, begin to prune out the oldest stems each autumn to promote new growth and maintain a healthy plant framework.Position: Full Sun/Partial ShadeHeight: Up to 1.5m when fully establishedSpread: Up to 1.5m when fully establishedSupplied as 3 x Blueberry ‘Pink Blueberry’ plants in 9cm pots.Delivered with growing and care instructionsImages shown are for guidance only of the expected results from plants upon maturity.
