We love, love, love blueberries around here.
Last year, Blueberry Giant offered two blueberry bushes for $10 (plus $6.95 shipping and handling), with the option to get a third bush for free (just pay additional shipping of $4.95 for the free one). That would be a total of $21.90 for 3 blueberry bushes.
We bought them to plant at my mom’s house, but we couldn’t get to my mom’s house in time to plant them. She didn’t plant them either, so the bushes died. 🙁
The deal is available again right now, so we are going to buy these once again and try again this season. We love blueberries, and they are very expensive to buy organic, so having our own bushes would be great.
I know some of my readers last year bought these. If you bought these, how are they doing this year?
Have any of you ever bought plants like this? Did they grow and save your family money? Would you recommend doing so?
I am just wondering what size the blueberry bushes were when you received them.
They were actually long twig size. I don’t think they would produce the first year.
I’ve never tried planting blueberry bushes. I wonder what climates they do well in?
I looked on the web, and it said blueberries can be grown in any climate, though it seems like it would be difficult in a very dry climate.
do you have to live in a certain climate for these to grow?
I am not sure. We live in a Northern climate. I would think these would do well in an area that isn’t arid.
I bought these last year. They were little tiny tiny twigs, but did stay healthy looking all summer. I haven’t been brave enough to check to see if they lived through the summer.
However, I would advice against buying these. Last summer I saw large, 2-year old bushes available at Home Depot for the same price. For the same amount of money, I could have had large, fruit producing blueberry bushes this year. Sigh….
Thanks, Denise. I guess I’ll check out the Home Depot. Do you think you will get any blueberries off the ones you bought last year?
