The new southern high bush varieties are taking California by storm. These high bush types were bred to withstand the heat of summer. The old fashion eastern type of blueberry just didn’t do as well here. We carry five different types of southern high bush types that can be planted right now. Blueberries do great in containers since you can fill the container up with perfect blueberry soil. Use our planting mix as it comes from the bag since it has just what blueberries want. In addition these high bush types are handsome shrubs worthy of placement for their beauty as well as fruit bearing qualities. There is a limited quantity of these plants so don’t delay, get your blueberries. 
Now
is the time for one last application of dormant spray on
our fruit trees and shrubs. It’s called dormant spray
because we apply it when our plants are asleep for the winter,
without leaves. We have to spray to prevent diseases and
insects from attacking our plants come spring. We recommend
an application of Lily-Miller Polysul Dormant spray. This
product will kill diseases hiding on the tree. If you mix
it with Lily-Miller Horticultural Oil we can kill insects
over wintering on the tree also. Hurry, as we must finish
spraying before the tree blossoms in the spring.
