Biggest blueberry plant I've ordered online

Box is taller than me. This just arrived from https://www.plantmegreen.com/

Their 5 gallon is looking more like 7 gallon. I love it! Haven’t seen anyone talk about this nursery, I’m hoping it’s a legit sweetcrisp. But it is huge.

Thinking about grabbing another one…

I lied. Box is almost as tall as me lol

Looks like you might have two in one there even. Sometimes if berries have two stems with roots i tear them into two.

I just ordered 2 more because I’m sad right now :rofl:

That is not a fruit nursery and the bush appears to be a seedling. I hope it has decent fruit, but I’d never purchase a seedling blueberry. More often than not, you get what you pay for.

However, I’m not familiar with Rabbiteyes, Perhaps they haven’t been improved much via human intervention and breeding, but sources suggest they have.

What do you mean it’s not a fruit nursery?

And what do you mean by seedling?

These have been the biggest I’ve ever gotten from a nursery and here’s a photo of the smallest I’ve ever gotten. Also there’s 6 plants in this photo below.

If you haven’t yet, you should search up “sweetcrisp” in the forum.

Below is a photo of the berries I’ve gotten from the plants i recently bought in the other photo below. The berries can be big and delicious even for small plants. It just depends on how well you take care of them. The plant i just got today is 4x as big as these.

Do you tear them after they go dormant or right after you get them?

Do they name the cultivar?

I’m not meaning to attack you, just to raise questions for clarity.

I just went back to the site and now realize I overlooked the fact that they call the variety Alfalfa, which suggests it is a grafted plant to a superior variety, so it appears you are getting a great deal, However, you may want more than the single variety this company offers.

That said, your advice should be very helpful to those seeking a bearing age rabbiteye blueberry. I’d start with that one myself if I wanted to grow that species.

I don’t understand your response?

I bought a sweetcrisp blueberry plant that was labeled as a 5 gallon blueberry. There’s no alfalfa variety in the blueberry world unless I’m mistaken.

That’s why i suggested that you should look up “sweetcrisp” in the search bar of the forum if you haven’t yet.

Here’s the actual link. Not sure where you’re seeing your info cause I’m not seeing it.

The label “sweetcrisp” can be seen in my original photo?

Here’s the list of blueberry varieties i have currently in my backyard so i think i have enough to pollinate each other:

This is the link you provided at the beginning of this topic. https://www.plantmegreen.com/

Does that clear up your confusion?

I ordered a sweet crisp blueberry from plant me green about 5 years ago.
Very healthy and beautiful plant. But definitely not sweet crisp.

Yeah, that would just take you to the front page of the website

Oh :melting_face: does it at least taste as good?

I have several sweetcrisp bushes and the berries look nothing like the ones pictured above (the pic with the quarter). Sweetcrisp have a very unique looking blossom end that is pretty distinct.

I know, those are berries from my bushes right above it. It was too show Alan that you can get good sized berries from small plants

Can’t speak to your bush, but I have bought several trees from them and was totally satisfied. They sometimes have great sales with free shipping also.

Simpson Nurseries supplies Home Depot. My local HD had some of the Southern Highbush Blueberries for sale in early summer that had ripe fruit on them. Nice sized berries.

Do you know if they were true to variety?

Bought several potted persimmons. Of the ones that have fruited they are correct. They were bought on sale for like $20 a piece with free shipping.

I ordered a Prairiefire Crabapple from them last winter. When it bloomed, it was white flowered so that tree was mislabeled. But a very nice tree as it was well branched and large for the price.
