My husband and I purchased some blue berry plants (Bright well and Powder Blue) at a plant sale this weekend. The gentleman gave us a lot of information. None of which I remember.

Could anyone give me some tips on growing blue berries? We're in Central Florida. The plants have little white buds that are beginning to flower. I'm not really sure if I can grow them in containers or if it's better to plant in ground. I have giant 15" deep containers that I got at a the garden center down the road (10 for $5. WOO!). My soil is just awful though. It's super sandy and when you get deeper orange clay :/ I get basically any type of sunlight you could ask. From practically sun in the backyard because of all the trees to full sun in the front yard and the the east and partial sun in the west side. Thanks for your help in advance :)

First, the Florida Gardening forum can get you input directly from the locals, info those residing elsewhere can only guesstimate.

Second, the Fruits and Orchards forum here can get you input from fruit gowers. I note there are many discussions about growing blueberries on that forum.

Hope this is of some help.

PS: and if you want to grow them in containers check out this discussion about them on the Container gardening forum.
