The online shop opens for winter bare root deciduous fruit tree orders in March for shipping in winter. We only ship winter bare root fruit trees from late June to late August.

Once you have placed your order you should receive a order notification by email(Check junk folders if you do not receive one).  If we dig them up too early or too late, they spoil. That’s why there is sometimes a delay between when you place your order and when your tree arrives. We usually dispatch trees via a courier at the end of June, July and August, actual dates are listed on the PlantNet website and on your order notification. You will get a tracking number once the trees are collected by the courier if you supplied an email address. It may take up a week and sometimes longer for your tree to actually arrive on your doorstep.

At times two trees are tied together in the box so please check this before contacting us.

Couriers pick up parcels intermittently and do not always pick up a customers parcels all together. We pack 2 trees per box. Expect the other 2 trees soon.

No, our sales are Australia only.

Trees are from 900mm to 12oomm in height when dispatched to customers.

We currently offer credit card (Visa and Mastercard) and pay pal payments.

All of our Tropical Sensations Range and Lemon Heaven are suited to the Queensland climate. Our evergreen blueberry plants, Blueberry Burst and Blueberry Kisses, are also suited to the warm Queensland climate.

There may be a number of reasons:

1. If the tree is growing too strongly, making too much growth: do not apply too much nitrogen (N) fertiliser which makes the tree want to grow and not crop. It is important that the tree puts all of its energy into fruiting at this stage. Please refer to the plant care page for more information.
2. Although Spring Satin is partially self-pollinating, its pollination will be improved by planting a Dwarf Mariposa Plum or Dwarf Storey’s Apricot tree, both of which flower at the same time, nearby to Spring Satin.

If the soil does not appear to be adhered to the trees root system, it is likely that the retail nursery potted on a bare root fruit tree in August. It should have been held back until it has taken root in the pot (November/December). The tree is most likely suffering from transplant shock. You could try pruning one third of the height from the tree so to reduce the foliage it will need to feed and applying a drench of Seaweed solution to the pot.

This is possibly Shothole fungal disease which can attack plants during wet and/or humid conditions and will defoiliate deciduous fruit trees which is undesirable and will affect the following seasons crop. Under these conditions a good protective fungicide program should begin before this happens. The same program can be used for rust fungal disease(yellow spots forming on leaves also.

Mancozeb is a good option- do not use sulphuur or copper based products while trees are green as they will burn leaves.

Although some trees will fruit the year after planting it is normally the second year after planting. In year 3, trees should have significant crops if grown properly.

This will depend on how you intend on pruning them. Click here for pruning info

2.0- 2.5 meters is a good spacing.

All of our varieties which require pollination from another variety have the pollinator listed next to the product on all pages of the PlantNet website.

This could be caused by a number of issues including using the incorrect potting mix, too much water or not enough water or inadequate fertilising! Refer to our blueberry plant care information here.

If you plant in Autumn it will fruit in 12 months. 

If you plant during winter it will fruit in 12 months.

If you plant in Spring it will fruit mid winter the next year.

If you plant in early summer it will fruit in mid winter the same year.

Yes, both our blueberry plants can be grown anywhere in Australia due to their extra low chilling requirements.

Firstly check the pH of the potting mix is between 5.0 and 5.5. You can purchase a pH test kit from any retail garden outlet. If the pH is too high, it can be reduced by the application of horticulture sulphur applied as per the application rate on the packet.

If the pH is correct, ensure that you have planted your blueberry using the recommended mix (refer to our blueberry plant care page ) of 50% pine bark and 50% azalea/camelia potting mix. This mix provides excellent drainage in wet conditions and the addition of pine bark stops the blueberries matting root system from becoming entangled and suffocating the plant. A large pine bark mix is the secret to extending the blueberries life in a pot! Also remember to fertilise regularly as per our reccomendations.

This can be caused by not enough nitrogen fertiliser. Applying Urea fertiliser is the quickest way to adjust this.

This is most likely Blueberry Rust fungal disease. Check out the pests and diseases page for images

We don’t recommend planting two plants in the same pot as they will compete for their resources, reducing optimal growth and harvest quality. If you still want to plant them together, ensure you have a very long pot, like a trough pot.
