It’s Earth Day, 2010, tomorrow! If you’re as excited as me, you probably want run out and plant something right now, such as a tree, a shrub or maybe even some fruit. How about a Blueberry Plant?
In this video, Felix from Gurney’s talks about blueberry plants and how to grow them in a container. You’ll want to use a large container, such as a whiskey barrel. This Ka-Bluey blueberry plant is only 3 years old and produced 5 – 6 quarts of blueberries in its second year! If you only have a patio or if your soil type is too alkaline, growing your blueberry plant in a container is the way to go.
How can I send a picture of our sad blueberry plant? We got one from you last fall and it has been in a container on our countertop since then. It grew (mostly from a new branch) then it started getting brown and dried (with soil still being watered) then a few new leaves at the tip grew bright green, but now the whole plant is shriveling and drying and … looking very sad indeed.

I live on the border of zones 4&5. I have a Dwarf Northsky in a container. Can I over winter it outside?
