1 Blueberry Pink Lemonade Plant

Approx. height 30-40cm
A real garden novelty, this unique variety is the result of many years of research and development by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA). Pink Lemonade brings blueberries to a whole new level – providing year round colour and interest in the garden. The blush white, bell-shaped flowers provide plenty of spring interest, these are then followed by pale green fruits in the summer which become dappled with pale pink and finally ripen to a deep glossy pink colour. In autumn the leaves turn bright orange, fading to deep red, before falling to reveal an attractive framework of dusky red-brown branches in winter. The fruit is deliciously sweet and has a lovely firm texture. Eventual height and spread: 1.5m (5ftm). Cropping season: August/September. Self fertile, but cross pollination will encourage a greater yield.

Planting:
Plant in an open sunny spot in a moist acid, but well-drained soil. Can also be successfully grown in pots with ericaceous compost. Soak the root-ball before planting. Plant in a hole twice the diameter of the root-ball or pot. Mix a soil improver and general fertiliser with the infill soil. Water regularly with lime-free water until established.
Plant 1.5m (5ft) apart in rows 2m (6ft) apart.
After Care:
Thin out dense bushes by reducing branches by one-third every 2-3 years in winter. Apply a general fertiliser in spring.
