Hi,
Today I was offered, for free, a blueberry plant that is about 4 feet high and 3 feet wide.
The folks offering me the plant do not know what variety it is. They said that the berries are small and tart. This suggests to me that they are the wild berries, or have a lot of the DNA of the wild berries. I love that, as the wild berries have a lot more antioxidants in them than the ones bred to be large and sweet.
I do not want to damage the plant any more than necessary, or to kill the plant. I would appreciate any suggestions anyone has based on experience or research about how to best transplant this blueberry bush.
The bush is starting to bloom. The plant devas at Findhorn said that plants get very upset if someone cuts into them in any way while the plants are blooming. This makes sense to me. However, if I do not transplant it, the folks who are offering it to me will kill it. I hope the devas will understand.
I live in Portland, Oregon.
Thank you very much.
Happy Spring!
