Sweetcrisp Blueberries Worth The Wait?

I finally received my Sweetcrisp blueberry liners after
waiting a year. They are tiny now but have an awesome
root system. I have 2 other Sweetcrisp that are two
years old and have grown very fast. Guess I have another
2 or 3 years before these start producing?

Yes they are worth the wait. But if you have 2 yr plants growing very fast they should fruit next spring. I got a pound one yr after starting plants like yours pictured above.

Roots are more important than top.

Where did you get the plants?

Mine are in a cold zone so we have a lot of unknowns. I got mine in April, and it grew well but is now dormant. All leaves are still on it. It's in the garage. Keeping in warmer, at least somewhat. If we get to -10 though it may only be 0 in the garage. I'll let heat in if I have to. Reminds me to move the thermometer to the garage!
Here's the last photo I took. leaves are red from the cool fall air. Hard to see too. I need to take a better photo. So one year's growth. I didn't push growth. Just letting grow fairly slowly but steady.
