    You probably are already aware, but just in case you're not - you need to plant in acid soil, or if potted in ericaceous compost. They also get quite big so you'll need to space (if in the ground) at least 4 feet apart. And you'll get a better set of berries if you plant mixed cultivars.

    A great fruit crop - they crop for at least a couple of months and when fully established you'll get loads of fruit! This year we picked our first berry in mid July and our last one today.

    We made lots of effort to make the soil acid in the last 2 years for the 2 bushes we already have. Worth the effort this year we had an amazing crop!! Thats why I want more!!!!!!
