My neighbor, John, was at the grocery store a few weeks ago, and he ran into a guy out in the parking lot with a horse trailer full of 10-year-old blueberry bushes that needed a new home. Knowing my proclivities when it comes to gardens and fruit-bearing trees and bushes, John picked up one for me and brought it home. It was fully six feet tall! It was a beautiful specimen, and it already had berry blossoms forming on it. He brought it over in a wheel barrow, and we got the burlap-wrapped bush into the back pasture.
The perfect location was found at the end of the raspberry patch, and the amount of sun (8 hours a day) and the type of soil (slightly acidic) was perfect for it. It was joined by two much smaller bushes to keep it company, so now I wait to see if it likes its new home. Mmmmm--blueberries!
