What size pot would I need for highbush and lowbush blueberries. Would like a 15in. pot be enough or would I want something much larger??

Depends upon how long they are grown in the container. I leave a plant in a three gallon nursery pot for a couple of years. Then the plant is stepped up to a true 5-7gallon container for the next 2-3 years. After that, the plant gets moved into a 10-15 gallon container where it may stay indefinitely. Some of the lower growing varieties would probably make better candidates for permanent pot culture.
