blueberries in a tub

[gan heather]

After much huffing and puffing, I managed to drag a bathtub onto my plot. My mother has kindly offered to buy me some blueberry bushes which I'd like to put in it. I've chosen two which come in 3 liter pots. Would sticking them (when they arrive) directly into the tub be too much of a "little container to big container" shock?

They are pretty tough little things, well - that is to say, mine have been, just ensure they get ericaceous compost to sink their lil toes into

As pib says they are pretty tough, but it is more usual to gradually pot on.

If you had an ericacious plot you would plant them straight out into the ground so just follow what you would do if planting out.
