QuestionFrank & Vicky: My neighbor has blueberry bushes that produce lots of tasty fruit each June. He doesn't spray them with any chemicals. I would like to grow my own blueberries. Is it possible to propagate them? If not, can you recommend a place where I could buy a good quality blueberry bush? How long does it take before it will produce any fruit? Thanks for your help. Gail
AnswerI don't know where you are located, but I think that you can get good quality plants from Johnny's seeds. They produce the first season, if they have a rich balanced soil that is about 4.5 acidic. They also like a little shade. There are also a lot of other places to buy them at:
