Blueberry - Sunshine Blue
My tiny Blueberry plant looks very happy and is covered in small green berries, grown in large wide ceramic pot with azalea potting mix and heavily mulched with pine bark. Looking forward to harvest time, but will have to outsmart local possum family. Initially there was burgundy tinge to the leaves, Epsom salts fixed that
Blueberry - Sunshine Blue
Growing well in a pot, very easy care, good harvest. Consistent water required after fruit set.

Fruited after one year of planting/stabilising. Easy to manage & loves Melbourne weather as it needs x-amount if cold weathet season to bear fruit. The plants love our coffee grounds... we've just pick a handful ang it's great tasting blueberries.
SUNBURY, VIC, Australia
These have grown exceptionally well - I purchased in 2016 and have had in a pot since. Last year was an absolute bumper crop - we were eating blueberries for what felt like forever and had plenty to share around. This year (2019) we had a few days ...

Sunshine blue is a good tasting blueberry that is a little tougher than most. It provides plenty of berries in spring and summer. Although the berries have good flavour they are smaller in size than newer varieties.
KEMBLA GRANGE, NSW, Australia
Love blueberries. As do my girls. Thought I'd give them a go as an understory plant in front of my nectarine/plum multi graft

I purchased 2 bushes from 2 different nurseries, Nelly kelly and Humphries. Both are fruiting. The Nelly Kelly already has about 30 berries and its a small bush. The Humphries ones has hundreds of flowers and about 1/2 as much berries (currently) as it...

Fruit is amazing just two years after planting! We've harvested nearly 1kg this year. At it's peak (late Nov / early Dec) was harvesting 1 punnet every 3-4 days. Fruit is good size and delicious. We moved it to a new location this year. Full sun, ...

This is a Nellie Kelly blueberry - I adore these plants. I allowed them to fruit in the first year, and they gave a couple of punnets of blueberries in total between the two.Make sure you let the berries atay on the bush for a week or so after turning ...

2011: I love this variety because it is an ever-green and suited to pot growing. It gives loads of fruits and is so easy to grow in Melbourne climates. I purchased a few small plants this year and had some potted up and some in the ground. So far they ...

I have planted 3 as a small hedge on a south facing wall with espaliered camilias. They are doing very well and loaded with fruit. In preparing the site I removed the soil to a spade depth and replaced with azalea potting mix.

Planted in 2008 but I really haven't given them any attention. All the same they have provided me with some fruit which I simply graze on. Will put more effort into them this year to see what they can do.Lots of new growth so it will be interesting...

Have only just planted in a pot about a month ago. Lots of flowers but will have to wait and see how it goes.
