Take cuttings from the upper part of the mother plant.
Can you do hardwood cutting of blueberries in early spring.
Depends on with what kind of cutting you want to propagate.
I have tried both the hardwood and the softwood cuttings.
Take cuttings in the late spring or early summer and take smaller cuttings about 4 inches instead of 6 for hardwood cuttings.
Cuttings need to be 10 to 12 cm long.
If you do try to propagate blueberries from softwood cuttings be sure to select young growing tips that are still supple and not woody.
To take hardwood cuttings one year old shoots are used.
The quickest and easiest way to propagate a blueberry bush is through planting cuttings from an existing plant.
Gardeners can take cuttings from new growth in the spring softwood cutting or older growth in the late fall or early winter hardwood cutting.
It s essential that the cuttings don t have flower buds if they do you need to cut off the top part of the shoot.
Cuttings taken too late mature leaves second flush of growth initiated may poorly root.
The following times for first shoot are expected.
A 4 to 5 inch cutting taken from the tip of a new shoot will root best.
Hardwood cuttings take up to about 10 weeks to.
However cuttings can be collected from growth flushes occurring later in the growing season.
In taking cuttings be sure that the bush is healthy and you.
Late spring and early summer are the best times to gather and start softwood blueberry cuttings.
