Wish I found this sooner
I ordered 5 plants, 1 of which were Sunshine Blueberry bushes. They arrived 11 days after ordering in good condition. The plants were well packaged with packing peanuts and pots bagged to keep soil in place They all arrived together in the same box, very healthy, moist soil with foliage still intact. This was my first time ordering plants online and it has truly been a pleasant experience.

Sunshine Blueberry
Had leaves while in the box and it was in a pot. I watered it and put it in the sun for a couple hours for a few days, then planted it. I used a cup of pure sulfur prills in the hole. The plant is doing fine.
