Blueberries are not only delicious and nutritious, but they are also relatively easy to propagate, making them an excellent choice for gardeners looking to expand their fruit garden. Propagation through cuttings is a cost-effective method that allows you to clone your favorite blueberry varieties. This method involves taking a section of a blueberry plant and encouraging it to grow roots, eventually developing into a new plant. With the right techniques and timing, you can enjoy a continuous supply of blueberry plants, ensuring a bountiful harvest year after year.

The best time to take blueberry cuttings is during the late summer to early fall, typically from late August to early October. During this period, the plant’s growth slows down, and the wood becomes semi-hard, which is ideal for cuttings. This timing allows the cuttings to establish roots before the onset of winter dormancy. Additionally, the cooler temperatures and increased humidity during this time create favorable conditions for rooting, reducing the risk of dehydration and stress on the cuttings.
