Premier Plant Solutions 20211 (Vaccinium) Blueberry Glaze, 19cm

I was pleasantly surprised at how well these Vaccinium 'Peach Sorbet' arrived. The pots were as large as described -- 7"x7" a true 1 gallon; the plants were well-rooted (no filler soil in the pot). The plants were leafed out with flower buds and looked healthy considering the long, dark journey. The plants came with all the expected tags and also generic planting instructions. The packaging was superb. I loved the zipper on the cardboard box and the drawstring plastic bag to contain the soil across the top of the pot was inventive. Over the years, I've ordered many mail order plants (perennials, shrubs and trees) from reputable, top-notch mail-order nurseries and have seen a wide variety of packaging techniques, none of which were as good as this one which leads to quick and safe unpacking. My only complaint is the timing of the shipment. I ordered it on a Tuesday; it began shipment on Wednesday and sat in a UPS facility over the weekend until I got it on Monday. That's 6 days in a box. Most, if not all, other mail order companies only shipped on a Monday or a Tuesday to avoid a weekend layover. The plant will recover, but if I do any further plant shopping on Amazon, I will pay attention to the timing so that will not re-occur. Despite all that, the soil was still moist upon arrival!As far as Peach Sorbet goes horticulturally, I already was familiar with the plant. I bought one last year locally and loved how well it performed. It's primarily for decorative purposes, but I did get some blueberries that the birds shared with me. The plant has gorgeous leaf color late into fall. I got 4 to make a cluster and to replace my 'Jelly Bean' dwarf blueberries which did not grow well at all in 3 years.Now to find more plant surprises on Amazon… who knew…

From Ohio to Boston, big healthy mature plants with very well developed roots. This is no plug or starter plant, this is full size instant gratification landscaping dream! Premier Plants, you did a great job! Fast delivery (Mondays to Wednesday), no stress on these babies. Fantastic! Your customer service was excellent and I now have the exact plants I have been searching for (for the right price, this is an outstanding end of the year value) … for about two years!!!! I longed for a hedge of blueberries, now I have 13! The 3 largest (pink icing) will have the most glorious foliage and winter interest. The Jellybean will look almost like boxwood, tidy and small under my roses. The peach sorbet will leaf out and be the perfect base to more roses. Plus add interesting color in the fall. I just wished I had done this sooner. I can’t get enough of these blueberries (oh yeah, did I mention that they all produce sweet blueberries?!?!) The jellybean one I already had and I needed more because the flavor taste like jam. Landscaping that provides food. It is a no brained.

Very healthy & nice size

Purchased two Bushel & Berry Blueberry bushes (Peach Sorbet & Blueberry Glaze) after I bought one at a local Northeast Ohio Garden Center only two weeks ago. After realizing I would get larger crops from cross pollination, even though these are self pollinating, I decided to buy two from Amazon considering previous success with ordering plants. Unfortunately that was anything but the case this time around!As an amateur horticulturist for the past 35+ years, I must first explain that I understand the dormant stage of cold growing plants as compared to ones that are dying. In fact, I’ve grown rose cuttings without any synthetic hormones at the age of 12, and decades later... it still flourishes at my childhood home, so I know what I am talking about.I received these yesterday and I am not even slightly happy with the condition in which they arrived. As you can see, they are slowly on their way to being completely dead as you can see in the photos I’ve taken. In fact, the Bushel & Berry blueberry bush I purchased at a local garden center two weeks ago shows what I should have received and this is nowhere near a dormant blueberry bush. The letter that was included says it is dormant and came from northeast Ohio, interestingly.... the grower is only 15 miles from my home... so I certainly understand what a dormant blueberry should look like, and this is not the case. HAD these been dormant, no leaves would be on the plant, nor would you see any that fell off while they sit drying out in a warehouse somewhere. Dormant plants are considered ones that have not begun the growing season and therefore wouldn’t have any leaves whatsoever. This is what you could anticipate receiving in late fall rather than early spring in dormant stage.While neither are not completely dead, both blueberry bushes are slowly dying from the tips south and will not survive the return window. Therefore I have requested a refund so I can purchase locally.Not happy after seeing so many others with beautiful plants regardless on time of year.Good luck to anyone that purchases after reading my review!

I wish I took a picture of it when it first arrived. I honestly thought it was not going to make it. There were hardly any leaves and it looked like it was drying up. That being said it was packaged well and shipped quickly. I moved it into a bigger container and I added more garden soil and an acidifier. I have been nursing it for about two months (just watering daily, removing spotty leaves and dead branches) and it has come back to life. I have lots of new green leaves and you can see where the blue berries are coming in.

Fast shipping, looks great and mature enough to produce berry's. Very happy and will purchase from seller again.
