With Vaccinium corymbosum hybrid 'Bushel And Berry(R) Pink Icing(R)' (Blueberry 'Bushel And Berry® Pink Icing®'), you get an ornamental blueberry that also produces tasty fruit in a compact size. The foliage is the star, shifting through soft pinks, blues, and greens as the seasons change, while small clusters of berries ripen for fresh eating and kitchen use. At maturity, you can expect a tidy shrub about 36-48 inches tall, with a rounded habit that fits nicely in small gardens, mixed borders, or patio containers.

Plant your blueberry where it will receive full sun to part shade. More sun generally means better fruiting and stronger foliage color, but light afternoon shade can be helpful in hotter areas. Choose a spot with acidic, organic-rich soil that drains well, and keep moisture consistent during flowering, fruit set, and summer heat. A thick mulch of pine bark, needles, or shredded leaves helps conserve moisture and supports the acidic conditions blueberries prefer.

If you grow it in a pot, use a large container with excellent drainage and refresh the potting mix as needed to keep plants vigorous. Water deeply when the top inch of soil begins to dry, and avoid letting containers sit in water. To improve harvest, consider planting another compatible blueberry nearby for better pollination. Prune lightly as needed to remove weak, dead, or crossing stems and to open the plant to light and air; heavier pruning is best done while the plant is dormant. In colder climates, give container plants extra winter protection around the roots.
