blueberry runners

I bought a small blueberry plant from a nursery earlier in the year. It has been happily growing in a big pot of acid soil. As we were having building work done we had to move the pot and placed it on top of a raised bed in the garden. This afternoon I was clearing out the bed to plant my tulips and I have found what appears to be a blueberry plant. I can only presume this has come up similar to raspberry runners? It seems to be growing quite well in the flower bed, but I presume even this early in it's life it will like acid soil? Do I re-pot it now? Am quite pleased really as I was going to go out and buy another blueberry!

I have kept blueberries for years and have never seen a runner, I could be wrong I guess, but to me they are bushes more like  currants than rasps, perhaps a seed germinated from a  dropped berry?, XX Jeannine
When God blesses you with a multitude of seeds double  the blessing by sharing your  seeds with other folks.

I thought that too Jeannine, but then I remembered I had NO BERRIES this year. I thought blueberries grew on last years would so I was not worried about that.

I have lots of Blueberries and have yet to see a runner, they are propogated via cuttings usually so can only presume its from either a berry or isnt a bluebery but something else.
Kindest regards
