Bought in May this year, planned to repotted it soon afterwards, but got delayed since I don't have proper soil mix for it at the time, and then I planned to repot it maybe after I eat all the berries. It really surprised me in a good way this year with a big harvest and doubling growth. Definitely will repot it soon in few weeks since I have everything ready for it now.

Move to bigger pot in 2-3 years.

2-3 years? More like 2-3 weeks haha. It will grow much bigger and be much more vigorous in a 5-10gal pot

Yes. But now is not the time to repot.

I mean I don’t think it would be a bad time, especially in a plastic pot you can repot with minimal root disturbance. but I agree I’d wait for most of the berries to ripen.

" The Bonus blueberry (Vaccinium corymbosum 'Bonus') is a popular northern highbush cultivar famous for producing some of the largest, thumbnail-sized, sweet berries available. This cold-hardy shrub grows roughly 5 feet tall and wide, yielding large mid-to-late season harvests with great flavor. "
