new blueberry bushes - show signs of life when?

I ordered and recently received a trio of blueberry bushes from an online nursery. The bushes arrived as about 3 bare branches approx 24 inches high give or take.
I dug up a nice spot for them and added a lot of peat moss as suggested by the instructions for planting, planted them and watered them well.

This was two days ago. I was just wondering about how long it takes for the bushes to start showing signs of life; leaves, ect? Thanks!

I'm not sure, but more than two days! Patience! :) Let us know in a couple weeks how they are doing. But be careful with watering. You did right to water well at first to get the peat moistened. After that, all that peat will hold moisture, so you don't want to over-water.
