π· Can the bushes fit in my SUV or car?
No β youβll need a truck or trailer to transport the bushes.

π· Are the bushes pre-dug?
No β the bushes will be dug fresh once you confirm your arrival with our farm caretaker.

π· Can I plant into a pot or planter?
These are large, mature bushes.
We strongly recommend planting directly into the ground for long-term health and fruit production.
A pot would need to be very large (minimum 25+ gallon) and would require more frequent watering and care.
π· Do I need to buy 2 or more bushes to get fruit?
Duke is self-pollinating β you only need one bush to produce fruit.
However, planting multiple bushes may slightly increase your yield and berry size due to extra cross-pollination.
Β
π· Are these bushes safe to transplant close to harvest?
Very safeβ these are mature, well-established blueberry bushes and are quite resilient! πΏ
Like most fruit trees, blueberries can handle transplanting very well β even in warmer weather.
While some minor transplant shock is possible, it's not serious if you follow a few simple steps:
β
Water deeply and often for the first few weeks
β
Add mulch to keep the roots cool and moist
β
If possible, provide light shade during the hottest part of the day for the first 1β2 weeks
Even if they temporarily slow down, youβll still get blueberries this season.
These plants are strong β theyβll re-root, grow new branches if any break, and continue producing for years.
Many experienced growers have successfully transplanted hundreds of bushes with no issues.
Β With a little care upfront, your bushes will thrive and reward you with fresh fruit for seasons to come! π
π· How do I take care of the blueberries after planting?
β
Water deeply 3β4 times per week for the first month.
β
Use 5β10 gallons of water per bush at each watering.
β
Plant in full sun (6+ hours daily).
β
Add 2β4 inches of mulch to keep roots cool and moist.
β
Do not fertilize right away β let the plant settle first for 4-6 weeks.
Weβll also provide you with a full care guide after purchase.
π· How big are the bushes?
The bushes are fully mature β approx. 4β6 feet tall and wide.
They will need space when planting to allow airflow and future growth.
π· How many pounds of blueberries will I get?
Each bush produces about 8β12 lbs of blueberries per season, depending on care, weather, and growing conditions.
Β
π· How should I transport them home?Β
To protect the bushes during transport:
β Cover the bushes with a tarp or cover to prevent wind damage to the branches and new growth.
