Blueberry bushes.
« on: May 07, 2009, 21:42:56 »
Hiya, bought 2 blueberry (tiny) bushes from Lidl earlier in the year. Did anyone else get any and if anyone else has young bushes how are they doing ,both of our are still just a collection of twigs with no leaves or buds.  :(
I think they are no more, Chloe hopes they're late starters.
Opinions please!!!!  :)

They're planted in and mulched up in ericaceous compost.

Definately no leaves, the twigs are a redish colour.

i tuck some cuttings earlier this year and they went a redish colour and they'd all died apart from one.
