Purchased 2 mature blueberry plants (3-4 years old) for $40 a piece in October of 2018. They had been pruned recently so I was able to plant them as soon as I arrived home.

I planted them in raised beds with a PH of 5.0 and topped with doug fir sawdust as Brian had instructed. I will say he is very knowledgeable and gave lots of information as well as inviting me back to learn how to prune the following Fall.

I was super excited to have mature plants but my excitement soon turned to stress as neither plant developed buds in the spring of 2019. I will say I had purchased 6 other 2 yr old plants (from Wilco) and they all developed buds that were removed as instructed by the Master gardener program. One of my two plants that were purchased from B&B developed a yellow green foliage in July which turned out to be a fungus which i'm hoping didn't spread to my other blueberries. I finally was advised (Master gardeners) to pull the infected plant before the fungus spread to the others.

I went back to talk to Brian for advice as to why the plants didn't develop buds and about the fungus. He was not very pleased and seemed upset that I had returned. He advised me to wait it out and that the following year I would have more blueberries than I could eat. He said the shock of replanting caused the delay of bud development and that fungus happens to all blueberry fields. Then he told me not to expect a refund which I had never intended. His response just showed an arrogance and lack of customer service that for someone running a business is poor business.

I will never return to B&B nor will I recommend his place of business to others.
