Blueberry 'Blue Jay' 3l x 2

Extremely vigorous variety growing up to between 5 & 6 feet in height.  Heavy cropper of medium-large berries that are excellent for making pies & jam.  Fruit has a rich flavour and juicy flesh and is good for freezing as it keeps its flavour well. 

These plants are supplied in 3l pots but are not necessarily pot-grown. 

Plant 1.5m (5ft) apart in rows 2m (6ft) apart.

Plant in an open sunny spot in a moist acid, but well-drained soil.  Can also be sucessfully grown in pots with ericaceous compost. 

Planting:
Soak the root-ball before planting.  Plant in a hole twice the diameter of the root-ball or pot.  Mix an organic soil improver and general fertiliser with the infill soil.  Water regularly with lime-free water until established. 

After Care:
Thin out dense bushes by reducing branches by one-third every 2-3 years in winter.  Apply a general fertiliser in spring.
