Jersey growth
Reviewed By: Richard Macbeth (Abingdon, Va)
I have two Jersey's to go along with 3 other verities (14 plants in all) I grow them in 1/2 wine barrels that way I can control the soil and water and it supports the berries very much. I also use the Gurneys blueberry food twice a year and pine straw them in the winter. I did not let them blossom out the first year. this will be the 2nd season for all my blueberries and they are doing great this year. The key is to have many different types to help each of them out.

In love with Jersey
Reviewed By: Roberta Cegarra (Danville, NH)
I started with two blueberry bushes to see how it went. I have an Earliblue and a Jersey. My Jersey is doing phenomenal and my Earliblue is right there too. Excellent fruit and lots of it! I'm hooked...bought 9 more bushes of various varieties!

Leaves fall off
Reviewed By: Paul Rutter (State College, PA)
I have had terrible luck with this blueberry plant type. The leaves fell off half of my plants after receiving them from Gurneys, leaving stalks that aren't doing much of anything. Without leaves no photosynthesis can happen. The plants do not seem energetic or hardy-almost lifeless. I'd avoid the seedlings from Gurneys and find more mature product that is stronger with a will to live.
