    How do you propagate blueberries?

    This is our first year with a couple of blueberry bushes. We have grown boysenberries and propagated them for years. I know how to make my grapes reproduce. How about those bluesberries?

    Thanks for the link. Less than 2 minutes in length and exactly the kind of information needed!

    Next question, how long after propagating the new bushes until they will begin to bear?

    That I don't know. I plan on doing this soon, but have not done it yet.

    depends on how fast is grows. If you dont get a lot of growth this year and can spare it, remove all of the fruit buds immediately as they form. Then the energy of the cutting will go into growing rather than making fruit.

    Just like with tree trimming. If you want the apple trees to grow faster you remove the flowers and "suckers" right as they form.

    Not like a conversation in person, with facial expressions, body language, tone of voice.

    Still, we here pretty much slide along without issues.
    Imagine how well we could get along in person.

    Or, we would just think each other is a bunch of assholes

    Great information. Yesterday I harvested about 1 cup from our 2 small bushes and took them to the kids house. The grand kids, ages 2 and 7 loved them! My only problem is figuring out where to put more bushes.

    That is too easy. For a price of around $14 a plant it sure would be much cheaper doing it this way. Way back when I used to go out and seize the evil green death which is so prevelent in the hills of California. We would always find root tone in all the growing operations, soooooooooooo I guess if it is good for the canabinoids (growers) then I guess it will be good for my blueberries.

    So if it is predictable and preventable then you better prepare.
