Blueberries

Anyone grown them from seed?

Anyone know what a blueberry seedling looks like?

Trying it myself + now don' know if I have seedlings or cheeky weeds ::)

I thought the seeds were sterile, or is that blackberry im thinking of? Might be best to buy plants or use cuttings.

I had heard they grow true from seed :-\

Does anyone grow them? Are they difficult to manage?

Hi all,

I bought plants from Woolworths, the first suffered in the snow so I bought another. They are tiny but I guess they`ll be ok. I doubt if they have any now but maybe you could try that next year.

The variety is Bluecrop
The packaging says "Plant in full sun, acid soil, height in 5 years 60cm x 60cm" It also says plant November to May so they should be frost hardy.

I did a web search and found these,

http://www.dorset-blueberry.com/ say they will be "sending plants out after the current cold weather has passed"

Maybe you can identify your seedlings from pics on these web pages?
