Tom Spellman and Phil Pursel are out in our berry block looking at our new crop of container berry plants. Some interesting varieties are discussed, as well as the best soil mix for growing container plants.

Thanks, Tom and Phil! A great reminder that I've got to get out to my blueberries and prune them before they go dormant in the fall. I can confirm: that Pink Lemonade is a tasty cultivar!

100000% agree on blueberries as starter plants for people. They are also incredibly productive if taken care of. Our Blueberry bushes give us several pounds of fruit every year.

DQuoc Nguyen hi, there is a nursery in VA that sells Dave Wilson plants. I just ordered several DWN fruit trees, and strawberry plants from one of the nurseries here in GA, that sells their plants. www.davewilson.com/home-gardens/where-to-buy/retail-nurseries-outside-california?page=1 ediblelandscaping.com is in VA.

FYI, to all those that want those Pink Lemonades, give them partial sun. I've had mine for about 3-4 years and they bloom all over but the heat will kill them quick.

Yes, they would work together in one container. Just be sure to keep the plants pruned to where the canopy of both together get no larger than 150% of the container size.

I saw a bare root Blueberry plant, I could ignore the price, so I bought it. I planted it in a large 18" W pot. accidentally I broke one small branch as I was working. Used a very good potting soil mixed with a good soil that has those white granules. It has been two weeks, it is growing, full of lovely leaves ibig amounts. I need to know what to fertilize with and should I be aware of pests? it's at the edge of a vegetable garden, full sun. I am in San Marcos CA. Thanks for your response.

Hello, I went to buy some of your blueberries and berry plants. All good, except there is a peat moss shortage (2022). What do you recommend as an alternative?
@stubbshomestead13163 жыл бұрын
What container would be best for them? I grow mine in root pouch's and they grow great but all the ones I've tried in normal plastic pots don't make it. I use a bit of compost a bit of sand from my property and mostly peat moss.
@DaveWilsonTrees3 жыл бұрын
Large shallow pots may be better as they drain and dry better. Good drainage is vital, and taller pots often don’t dry enough at the bottom of the container, promoting root problems. Half wine barrels are good for two or three plants together.

@DaveWilsonTrees3 жыл бұрын
For citrus and apples on dwarf rootstock you want to go with a 10 or 15 gallon, or larger. For success with container trees, it’s important to keep the canopy pruned to no more than 150% of the container size.

Northerns are cold hardy, and totally self fruitful. Southerners are less hardy and do better with pollination. Northerns are more touchy about soil Ph, must be below 5.8.

Thanks for the nice video about growing blueberry. I just bought two sunshine blue blueberry baby plants. Do I need another variety? I heard it’s self-fertile which can produce fruits by itself. And how long does it take from baby to mature fruiting plant? I am in Bay Area Zone 10b I think. Thanks!

You’ll get a better fruit set if you have another variety. You’ll have a few berries first year, and in full production in 3 or 4 seasons.
