blueberry

[twocat]

I am going to take a few cuttings of blueberries today and try to get them to root. This time around I will try and root them the same way as I do fig cuttings. Any suggestions?

Never attempted to root blueberries myself, but links below might help and provide some guidance.

I was going to root some, but a friend of mine already does so I just trade him.

I rooted some dormant blueberry cutting a few years ago. They were the first cuttings I ever rooted. I kept them under a heat dome. They had a much lower success rate (< 40%) than fig cuttings ( >90%). So the best advice I can give is, maybe root more than you need, just in case your experience turns out similarly to mine. Good luck!

Dormant blueberry cuttings take longer to root than figs, so be patient. Also they will leaf out before they root so keep up the humidity until they are well rooted. And like said above they have a lower success rate so stick more than you need.

I'm glad I have a blue berry connection...lol

I have enough to root.
