Blueberry cuttings?
« on: May 19, 2011, 09:25 »
I have a healthy blueberry bush that at the moment has lotts of fruitlets on it.

It is a single bush but always fruits well, i have heard that two bushes will fruit better as they will polinate each other and thus give a better crop.

When can i take a cutting from it and how do i do it? (hardwood or soft shoot?)

Don't want to put you off but the improved pollination comes from having different varieties with similar (or at least overlapping) flowering times.

They can be propagated from cuttings, but as you probably already know they are not the fastest growing plants in the world!

Sow your seeds, plant your plants. What's the difference? A couple of weeks or more when answering possible queries!

One of the best things about being an orang-utan is the fact that you don't lose your good looks as you get older
