PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS
Our dedicated staff of nursery professionals is focused on your success. We grow and finish Fall Creek™ blueberry
plants in several different product types to meet your needs. Following is a list of our standard plant products, with
descriptions and suggestions of uses for each. Packaging and ordering information is included.
Finished Stock
No. 1 Container
Our premier container product is grown especially for immediate retail display or for a quick turn container transplant program into a No. 2, No. 3 and No. 5 sized pot. Multiple shearing and a meticulous Fall Creek™ cultural
program produce a superior well branched, stout plant that is sure to
compliment and improve your sales. Most upright growing Highbush varieties average 18" to 24" in height, while the finished height of other Vaccinium sp. is 8" to 16", depending upon their different growth characteristics. No. 1 Containers (we used to call them 1 gallons) are carefully packed and palletized in Fall Creek™ bin boxes for convenient
handling, pick up and delivery. Full bin boxes hold 250 containers. Sold in multiples of 20 per variety. Fall Creek™ picture tags are included in the list price.
Bed Grown, Bare Root
Our unique system of growing Fall Creek™ liners in a fumigated community bed combined with careful harvesting techniques produces finished plants with large tops, extremely fibrous root systems and an optimum amount of the soil-less growing media remaining with the roots. We offer a great selection of Northern, Half-High, and Southern varieties. All plants are expertly bundled in multiples of 10. The roots are wrapped with stretch film and the top growth is tied for protection during storage and shipping. This ensures easy handling and successful transplanting. Bed Grown blueberry plants can compliment early spring retail sales or be potted into larger containers for late spring and early summer sales. Northern varieties are graded as 12" to 18" and 18" to 30". Half-Highs and Southernsare graded as No. 1’s. This reflects a shorter and less upright growth habit. Bed grown stock is available for shipping in January and February direct from the nursery. Orders that remain after February will be held in rented cold storage. Bed Grown bundles are carefully packed and palletized in Fall Creek™ bin boxes for convenient handling, pick up and delivery. Full bin boxes hold 750 to 1,000 full sized plants.
