Product Description
Own something brand new and unusual the world's first ever Pinkberry and pick your own crop of delicious fruit each year from next season!
From the blueberry family, these lovely fuchsia-pink coloured Superfruits are packed with healthy antioxidants and, best of all they are sweeter and juicier than regular blueberries. Put them into your summer puddings or eat them fresh from the bush with some ice cream scrumptious!
Pink Blueberry 'Pink Lemonade' reliably bears fruit, and which is ready to eat in late-August each year. These incredible plants will even provide an explosion of fiery-orange coloured autumn foliage.
They'll grow into a bush of about 90cm (3ft), and grow best in acidic or ericaceous soils, like all members of this family.
Supplied as an established plant in a 2L pot, ready to pot on or plant out.

Plant Information
Top Tips
- While tolerant of shade, blueberries crop better in the sun.
- Cover plants with netting when in fruit, otherwise you'll just end up feeding the birds!
- Pick over the plants several times as not all the fruit ripens at the same time.
- Fruits can be left on the bush for a few more days after they turn blue for a more intense and complex flavour, when they'll also easily pull away from the cluster.
- Although self fertile and able to produce a good crop on their own, blueberries yield much more heavily if planted near another one.
Care Guide
- Plant in well-drained, acidic soil in a sunny, sheltered spot.
- If your garden soil has a pH over 5.5, your blueberry is best grown in a pot, in ericaceous soil. Keep it well-watered - don’t allow the soil to dry out.
- Water blueberries with rainwater if you can as tap water will gradually raise pH levels.
- Feed every month with a liquid fertiliser for ericaceous (lime-hating) plants.
- If growing blueberries in the garden, add plenty of organic matter such as pine needles or composted conifer clippings. Avoid farmyard manure as it will scorch the roots.
- Pruning is rarely needed in the first two years. After that prune in late Feb – early Mar, aiming to remove a proportion of old wood every year. Two year-old wood is the most productive.
- Take out any damaged, dead, and diseased wood and prune out low branches that will lie on the ground when full of fruit.

Well they seem okay but have had a bad experience when I bought a Victoria plum tree as it died within the year. So I am hopeful that these latest purchases will survive.Product:
Again hope it survives more than a year
