How to grow
How to grow
Excellent pest and disease resistance
Blueberries generally have no problems but you may need to protect the developing fruit with netting to avoid the birds eating it! Can occasionally be affected by powdery mildew - you can avoid this by spacing plants well apart and watering at the base to avoid splashing water on the foliage.
Full sun
Blueberries can deal with a little light shade but fruit best in a sheltered position with at least 6 hours of sunlight daily
Acidic soil
Blueberries need light, free-draining acidic soil. If your soil is not acidic, plant your blueberries in a pot with ericaceous compost.
Prune during the dormant season (November to March)
Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years, just remove any crossing or misplaced branches. Prune any time over the dormant season (November to March), but ideally in late February or early March so that you don't accidentally cut off fruit buds

Think citrus warmed by Sicilian sun, topiary trained by Dutch masters, almonds nourished in the Dordogne and bamboo bathed in Tuscan heat. Our handpicked growers nurture these plants to maturity before handing over to our team in the South Downs, to toughen them up for UK gardens.

Best plants you will ever get online
I have ordered plants from them twice this year. They arrived well packaged, on time and looked strong and healthy. I feel the staff from Roots plants deal with their plants and customers with passion and care. I can’t wait to order again, price is good as well.
Highly recommended all round
Delivered quickly, perfectly packaged and the tree was in excellent condition. Really healthy and taken to the garden with no problems. Can't recommend highly enough. 5 stars isn't enough!
Satisfied customer
Unlike other online sellers, this company are well ahead in the quality stakes. My plant arrived promptly as per their promise and the plant was much more established and healthy than I had expected. It’s the second time I have ordered from them and I have faith in their promise. Excellent service.
A really good quality tree
A really good quality tree, delivered on time and very well packaged. But the emailed planting advice and supporting information was what really impressed me. Thoroughly recommended.
Exceptional quality
The quality of the plants was exceptional, unlike ones I have had before from local garden centres. Thank you so much. I will definitely be using you again.
Marvellous!
Marvellous service, great plants and fast delivery. Very useful information on how to care for the plants I bought. Easy to use website that makes it far too easy to overindulge in fabulous plants 😂🌱
