Seriously? GIANT? These are simply cuttings, barely rooted from the looks of it. These are YEARS away from producing any fruit! Just a warning to anyone thinking of buying these.
I think the description is quite clear, and yes, it will take perhaps a few years. Be sure to check your growing zone and be sure these will work there.
I bought these last year as 2-4" bare root cuttings. The pictures are accurate and so is the description. I now have 2 foot saplings with buds starting to emerge. I live in Missouri. These should be bearing fruit next year. Any gardener knows that nature takes time!
Send me a pie next summer?
Good thing these aren’t raspberry plants. Otherwise I’d be poking fun in a way which you can probably guess. ![]()
Perhaps the description is clear, but the headline most certainly is not. I’m glad you’re not disputing the “years” from producing, though. ![]()
Be sure that you have acidic soil for these. Where we live, our soil is alkaline so I grow blueberries in pots.
I also bought these last year, there were no photos like these and I thought I would be receiving some actual plants. I’m glad to see Woot is being honest with the photos - but the headline is a bit misleading, which is why I wrote. I am a gardener and have been for 35 years. Some plants I start from seed. With other plants I’d like more immediate gratification. ![]()
Also want to echo here, that these are very small cuttings that are years from producing berries. I think you would be better spending a little more and going to the local garden center for some larger plants. I was able to purchase 4 2-3yr old plants in 1gal pots from my supermarket in the spring. They actually did quite well and are producing a lot of berries. The plants were $10.99 each.
I purchased larger 3-4yr old plants from the local nursery, and they are instantly ready to bear many berries. Those plants came in a 3gal container and were closer to $29.99. If you can wait, you may be lucky and buy them at a discount towards the end of the year, or end of the berry season. There will be less selection of course.
As for the varieties, I have one bluejay plant, and while it produces a fair number of berries, the berries are medium to small, and not very flavorful at all. You really need to wait until they are perfectly ripe to pick. Too early and they have no flavor, too late and they taste mushy or the birds get them. I have 11 plants, and of the 7 varieties I have, the bluejay is my least favorite.
As for the patriot, that is one of my favorites. With good watering, you can get nickle sized berries. Very large, very delicious. I have 3 of them. Prolific producer, large flavorful berries.
I have 30-year-old blueberry bushes and was looking to add a few more. The cheapest I could find were $11 each, which is too much for my purpose. These are as described, 2-4 inches tall. They arrived today and I am very pleased. They survived shipping in a plastic mailer and the leaves are green and healthy, the roots look fine. They are rooted cuttings, so going into small pots next and then into a seedling bed until next year. I bought the 8 pack so $3.75 per plant works for me, as I do not have luck rooting my own shrubs. If you are in a hurry for fruit, spend a lot of money at your local nursery and get large gallon or larger plants. But these are great for me!
It’s all fun and games growing them but if you get to eat 1 in every 200 ripe berries before the birds get them it will shocking.
Did you ever wonder why there was netting in the garden for Peter Rabbit to get caught on? Hint: it wasn’t there to catch fish.

YUM! I love fresh blueberries!!
