FAQS for Buying Fruit Bushes Online

How long does it take for fruit bushes to produce fruit?

Most berry bushes produce small harvests in year 2, with full production by years 3-4. Blueberries may take 2-3 years, while raspberries often produce fruit the first year after planting.

Do fruit bushes need full sun to grow?

Yes, most fruit bushes need at least 6-8 hours of direct sunlight daily for optimal fruit production. Some varieties, like Currants and Gooseberries can tolerate partial shade but will produce less fruit.

When is the best time to plant fruit bushes?

Early spring (after last frost) or fall (6-8 weeks before hard freeze) are ideal. Spring planting allows establishment before summer heat, while fall planting gives roots time to develop before winter dormancy.

How much space do fruit bushes need?

Standard varieties need 4-6 feet spacing between plants. Dwarf varieties can be planted 2-3 feet apart. Raspberries and blackberries need 3-4 feet between plants and 6-8 feet between rows.

Are fruit bushes self-pollinating or do I need multiple plants?

Most berry bushes are self-fertile (blueberries, raspberries, blackberries), but cross-pollination with different varieties often increases yield and fruit size. Plant at least 2 different blueberry varieties for best results
