All good advice here, thank you.

Only this week, weve been talking about taking cuttings, and transplanting the two bushes to the allotment.

Final question, take cuttings in October?

Cuttings are best done in Ferbuary and need bottom heat to strike  :)

My blueberry is fine this year, plenty of fruit on it too.

Every couple of years i take the plant out of it's pot in Winter when it's dormant and with a carving knife i cut about an inch of compost and roots off around the whole root ball.

I then re-plant the bush back into it's original pot with more fresh acid compost in the bottom and round the sides, this is working as the bush is looking very healthy and as i said has a great crop on it all turning a dusky blue.

I'll probably pot it on this year as i've been useing this method for around 5 or 6 years now so it's time for a bigger pot i recon and i will do this again for another 5 or 6 years with the new pot.

I know people who use half blue barrels with holes drilled in the bottom sunk into the ground filled with erecatiouse compost and have good results.

I like my method though as i can put it in the greenhouse in the winter to avoid the worst of the weather and give it an early start then put it outside in June  :)
