The cost is $15.50 per bush for pick-up in mid-May or $22.50 per bush for pick-up in mid-June. The Association will transport all blueberry plants to a location on Echo Lake for convenient pick-up. Blueberry bushes will be delivered in 2-gallon containers.
Minimum order is two bushes. High and Half-high bushes must be of different varieties to ensure cross-pollination. Low bushes are self-pollinating and do not require pollination with a different variety.

In your email, please indicate the number of each variety of blueberry plant you would like to purchase, and when you will pick up.
