..because…I learned some blueberry plants will get “sunburned” in some areas and are not recommended for certain zones. Having purchased Top Hat for our greenhouse and am in zone 7, quickly found out it needs partial shade because our sunny days literally cooked the plant. Our local nursery carried blueberry plants more suited to our climate and is thriving.
I planted two Pink Lemonade Blueberry plants, two summers ago. One looks like its doing ok and gave me four or five berries this summer. The other one looks like its going to die because the branchs look brown and the leaves fell off by mid August. Can I still transplant to a pot? Please advise. also I live in Pennsylvannia, Zone 6.
Most of the problems that most people have with plants starts with the soil. Blueberries need acidic soil—that’s soil with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Whether you leave it or move it to a pot, the soil question has to be addressed. Blueberries also crave organic matter—compost, aged manure…good stuff. So test your soil and amend as needed.

Hi! Your articles are very helpful! Is it worth trying cherries in a pot in Zone 7B 8a in central NC? If so, when should I start the plant?
Thanks, Leslie. We have more for you. Is it worth it? Depends. You need to check the cherry variety and its needs and see how those correspond to/match your climate conditions. When to start the plant…? From seed?? If it’s a seed, why any time! If it’s a tree, we suggest that you peruse this page: https://www.almanac.com/plant/cherries and then consult the nursery from which you are getting it.
