Blueberry Propagation

Posted by Hester on May 22, 2009 at 11:21pm
Has anyone grown Blueberries successfully from cuttings? If so I'd love to know how you did it. When to take cuttings, what type -soft wood /hard wood, etc. I'd like to grow some more bushes from the 2 plants I've got.

    it can be that simple, depending on plant, some need a bit more fussing over. if you want to try some of your own propagation i reccomend the book 'growing gardens for free' by geoff bryant. a nz book that the library should have. it has details about how to take cuttings etc, as well as what methods suit different plants.

    what do you do with a hardwood blueberry cutting? (i know nothing about propagation). Do you just put it in a tub of dirt and keep it moist?

    I asked the people at the blueberry farm near rotorua and they said take cuttings in winter. So I guess that would be hardwood. I'm going to give it a go.
