I dug up my two blueberry bushes. One was 10 years old & one was 15 years old. They had big root balls, took alot of digging but it was worth it. I did this in April with berries on it, probably the worst time. They made it, not problem at all. This year they were loaded with nice big blueberries. I now have 20 plants & I am going to try propagating for my daughter to grow some plants. I moved 2 years ago. I dug up my two blueberry bushes. One was 10 years old & one was 15 years old.

Just make sure that the greenhouse is vented and doesn't overheat if you have a few warm, sunny days, and water the blueberry plants as needed!

I purchased two blueberry plants today at Lowes (2/24/08). Both plants already has green growth showing. Is it OK to plant them now with our night time temperatures around freezing or should I wait until our frost free date which is usually between April 1st and the fifteenth due to the green growth? I have a mini greenhouse which I can keep them in if needed. I live just outside Memphis, TN. We are in Zone 7 but awful close to Zone 8. Thanks! Tom tjmashour@aol,com Hi!

I had to move them at a very bad time (June) to make room for my new greenhouse. When I dug them up, I discovered that they had very shallow roots, and they didn't seem to mind transplanting at all. They bore just as many berries as usual and showed no signs of ever having been disturbed. Just a comment on moving blueberry bushes: I moved a couple that were about 5 years old and had no problems.
