I have a blueberry planted in the ground that is at least 5 years old. I have only recently found out that they do better with more than one. Consequently, I have just purchased another one (£3.00 Wilkos) that already has new leaves forming, the others didn't but I felt sorry for this one and was worried it needed some TLC pretty soon.
My first question is, is it normal to feel empathy for a fruit bush?
And my second question is will it survive if I plant it straight into the ground now, maybe with some fleece protection during the night as we are still having the odd mild frost here, or should I play it safe, pop it in a pot so I can control it's environment easier and plant it in the ground next dormant season?
Thanks
