|
|
I got a bare root fruit bush today, I've never got one before so dont know if it was normal but I took it out of the plastic to soak it in water and the soil fell apart to show just a bundle of sticks (with buds). Have I been conned? _________________ Please excuse my ignorance I'm new to this. |

You haven't been conned as the name suggests bare roots will be just that without a pot to hold the soil of course it will wash off when you apply water. Plant it out and enjoy the blueberries  |

Thankyou, was beginning to panic. That will make 5 blueberry bushes in my garden now. I hate having to buy them as they are just so expensive. _________________ Please excuse my ignorance I'm new to this. |
