Bush looking good

BB (Bexx's bush) obviously has a good home, but for a really good start in life you might consider (I know it feels counter-intuitive) cutting it back to just above those two shoots half way down both stems. That will guarantee a healthier, denser shrub with a higher yield of fruit. And re-pot to a larger pot (not plastic) with ericacious compost then feed in April with tomato feed.

Oh, and fruit bushes prefer rain water as tap water turns the soil alkaline. 😖 ........................... and I talk to my plants too, even though it's a one sided conversation ! 😳 x

bush plant same thing ..... whats the different (and we all have BI .... ) or would vaccinium corymbosum be better?

@cat, yes I know it likes rain water, I have a bucket outside (that is full) with rain to water it which and I have ericaceous compost I did my research before purchasing it and double checked with the garden centre and they gave me the compost, feed and bigger pot it has grow and gotten more buds since this post and I don't want to touch it as fear of killing it Im scared to repot it but I will see what its like at the end of the month because it seems happy at the mo
