With       proper pruning you probably don't really need a dwarf variety . My well       established bushes are only about 4 feet tall and maybe 18" in diameter       - and I haven't pruned . I have some dried blueberries (mentioned in       another post) that I missed last year , I'm going to see if they will       germinate/sprout ... I love blueberries , still got some from last year       in my freezer . I have room for 2 more plants without expanding the       garden space (currently about 1400 sq feet) .       --       Snag        I appreciated foreign cultures more       when they stayed foreign ...              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
