Finished Stock
No. 1 Container
Our premier product is grown specially for immediate retail display or for a

produce a superior well branched, stout plant that is sure to compliment and
improve nursery sales. Most upright growing Highbush varieties average
18-24 inches in height, while the finished height of other Vaccinium sp. is 8-16 inches,
depending upon their different growth characteristics. No. 1 Containers (we used to call
them 1 gallon) measure 6 inches in diameter, are 7 inches deep and have an average volume
of 2.9 liters. Each plant is carefully packed and palletized in Fall Creek bin boxes for
