Blueberries are a great option to consider growing if you have a small space or would like to grow in pots.

They thrive whether in the ground or a pot and can comfortably be kept pruned to around 1 metre high and remain very productive. Blueberries grown in a row will create a low productive hedge to separate different areas in your garden or to help disguise unattractive walls or fences. 

The Gulf Coast Blueberry produces large fruit and is a low-chill blueberry that grows well in South East Queensland's sub-tropical climate. Although it grows best in full sun, it will still fruit when planted in a partly shaded position. 

It is a self-fertile variety so will produce fruit on its own, however, it will provide even greater harvests if another blueberry bush is also grown nearby as this will assist with cross-pollination. 

It's an ideal choice for the novice gardener and for those wishing to grow their fruit trees in pots. Blueberries make a good choice for those keen to involve their children in gardening as they provide fruit quickly and they are a hardy plant.

Regular watering is required.
