Product Descriptions
1. 1 Gallon Pot, 2 Year Old Plant - This blueberry plant in a 1 gallon pot (6”x 8”) is the industry standard that we developed 30 years ago. These 2 year old plants are grown in a peat bark mix, which promotes excellent root growth and branched top growth. Containerized plants eliminates transplant shock and maintain the integrity of the root system. The plant height will vary according to the variety, from 12” to 24”. 1 gallon plants are the growers best choice for fast field establishment.
2. 4.5” Pot, 1 Year Old Plant - This is a large 7”-12” 1 year old plant that has a very substantial root system (about 60% of the 1 gallon pot). The 4.5” pot was developed as an economic alternative to the 1 gallon pot. We have been successful planting the 4.5” plant directly in the production field by maintaining excellent cultural practices, such as weed control and irrigation.
3. 2.5” Pot, 1 Year Old Plant - This is an excellent liner plant. The large deep root system transplants well into larger pots or nursery beds. It’s a good alternative for growers who want to grow their own finished plants. We don’t recommend planting these directly into production fields.
4. 1”-3” Rooted Microshoots - For the nurseryman set up to handle small micropropagated plants. These are acclimated plants, grown in our greenhouse for 3 months. They need to be transplanted in a greenhouse because they are actively growing. Please call us if you need information on handling microshoots.
