Bluebarry lifespan

[peachguy]

I bought a couple of bluebarry bushes and on the lable it says two year bush what exactly does that mean because I am not sure.

Hi Peachguy! It means that your blueberry bushes are two years old from the time of propagation. Blueberries are very slow growers, and actually take up 6 years to reach full production (you will still get berries, just not as many), so it's best to start with 2 or 3 year old plants and get a head start!

thanks I thought it meant they only lasted 2 years kind of like strawberrys but this is way better.

I had a feeling that's what you thought! If that were the case, you'd never see a blueberry - plus it would be awfully expensive!
Enjoy them!

Blueberry bushes can live 60 years or more so you've gotten quite the bargain!
