We purchased three (3) locally grown blueberry plants. Cost about $20 each, included planting and being fertilized correctly for the first time.

They are thriving. Hardest part is deflowering them. The first year you can not let them have berries. Plants will be stronger.

Bought them along with our 7 citrus trees and grape vines from a local grower - M & G on 441.

His family owns the larger wholesale nurseries in the area and he is quite knowlegeable. Had one tree that is not easy to find - Page orange tree.

Lots of luck - and happy picking.
