    I have 2 healthy Blueberry bushes growing in separate containers but have not had any fruit.

    Only 1yr old how long do you think it will before any sign of fruit?

    Hi Scotkat, I have a blueberry which I bought last year and have had fruit this year, it can take up to 3 years for them to fruit and then they will fruit each year, they are lime hating plants, and I feed with Seaweed plus iron, in the Spring which you can buy from your local Gardening Centre and just follow instructions. Good Luck. Buzzing around !

    And here was me thinking I would have had fresh blueberries at breakfast ready to pick.

    Scotkat, did you have them in the greenhouse all summer?, as I keep mine outside all year round, in winter in a sheltered place in the garden.
