Top Hat Blueberry

[DesertPanda]

Just got this in from a nursery. Bought it as a gift for the wife who absolutely loves blueberries. I have no plan to style before spring so I have plenty of time to ponder it but would love to hear suggestions and ideas…

I can tell you this, blueberries have a tendency to lose branches without apparent cause, so, whatever style you choose, be prepared to continually regrow and restyle. That being said, the bark can be quite nice and the fruit an interesting way to use contrasting reds in pot selection, a rarity.

Thank you for the informaiton, nothing I had read mentioned the dieback…I will add that to the design considerations. Also, I had not thought about the contrast between the reddish pot and the purple/blue of the berries.
