I ve been given a blueberry plant. Does anyone have any experience of growing them?
A look on the RHS https://www.rhs.org.uk/advice/grow-your-own/fruit/blueberries seems to imply it will be best potted, although I'm generally not that keen on planting things I definitely don't want to die in a pot.
Soil is generally very, very heavy clay. But I'm pretty sure the spot I'm thinking is decent and was heavily worked by the previous occupants.
We have a couple in pots, now about a decade old and going strong. From the deepest recesses of my mind, I don’t think they self-pollinate. So to get fruit, you’ll need another (I think - best check though).
Rainwater a must, as above.
