2014 Rooting Blueberry Cuttings

[@charlesingram9471]

Nice video thank you. Rooting compound is just a sugar syrup basically. It seals the end and gives the plant sugar which tells it to grow roots. I haven't done a side by side comparison but I've had 100% success using natural honey, which can't be bad.

[@laurarowland7926]

Thankyou for this video..I bought some blueberry bushes last year at Wal-Mart and they are doing well..I will definately try this when they start with new growth 😀

[@rcfnc]

Wow, we are not professional blueberry growers but we have always just taken the shoots growing up at the base and transplanted them to pots. Sometimes they grow and sometimes they don't. We only do this if someone wants a bush. We need to prune ours a lot since we have so many berries. We give most of ours away since we can only freeze so many . I am in NC too.

[@nancyfahey7518]

I hate too many rules. That's why I do plants. They don't complain or talk back. I watched several videos, yours has the best info and explanation so far. BTW, I don't use rooting hormone and get 50% success.

[@ncfruitgrower]

Some growers use hormones, make sure if you decide to use some, get the approved variety for food consumption. Than you for your feedback

[@ourearthfarms685]

Great point about keeping the lines full of water between sprays !! Thanks for elaborating

[@raton_garden]

wow so beautiful planting. Informative video 🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤

[@lorrainewicenski3425]

I neighbor I was going over some video's to make cutting for blueberries. Im in Macon I was wondering if you had some cuttings that I can come and pickup. And would love to get some advice.

[@ronweldon5892]

Hormex rooting powder is ideal for use with food producing plants like tomatoes, oranges, apples, blueberry's, etc. Also you can use raw honey which works great for any cutting. I use the honey on my rose clippings

[@visarbrestovci9029]

I noticed you have drip irrigation for blueberries installed. How many holes you got for each blueberry for water exit?

[@matthewsweeney2577]

Watching almost 7 year’s later great how too video for cuttings! If your still taking questions when the next step comes how many of the cuttings do you put in a container if you wanted to pot them up? Thanks 👍

[@ncfruitgrower]

1 plant per pot. 1 gal. Pots

[@marcodipilla7940]

Dear James, Please let me know when (how many months after starting) I have to stop spraying the water over my blueberry cuttings for 4 seconds every 10 minutes. Thank you very much for your answer. Best regards marco from Italy

[@Inspirationhills]

QUESTION:: How long do I have to wait with the sand and pine bark till it ready to plant? Should I add fertilizer or compost before planting?? btw, Great videos :)

Hi I went to ranchers supply to get your misting nozzles and they look at me like I was from Mars. Do you have a part # or company that makes them? Thx

[@justgivemethetruth]

Cool setup. What is the timer? How do you work the timing? Those plants look really healthy!

[@jasoncox7910]

whats the best time of year to do these cuttings...

[@MrWhiltetail]

Interesting how the rooting hormone companies had different things to say about being used on edibles even though they were the exact same ingredient!

[@marcodipilla7940]

Dear Sir, thanks for your video. I followed your instructions to the letter for planting my blueberry cuttings. Please let me know after how long (months) on average I can transplant blueberry seedlings into pots. Thank you, marco from Italy

[@ncfruitgrower]

I start rooting in August. Usually I will find roots by November. I keep the cuttings going until March. You should find large balls of roots. When you transfer into pots, make sure you spread the roots out. Thank you for watching

[@andrewfurr3253]

How do you keep your blueberry beds grass and weed free? They look very nice!

[@ncfruitgrower]

Andrew Furr Hello, I use a mild mixture of Round-up and then lay a thick cover of pine mulch down each row. We use about 30 cubic yards of pine bark a year.

[@thesupermom1975]

I've never done blueberries but I've had success with other things. I always cut my stems at a 45 degree angle to give the cutting a greater surface area from which to take in water. Do you think this would be a good idea with blueberry cuttings? Great video btw...I love your misting system.

[@ncfruitgrower]

thesupermom1975 Thanks James Matthews

[@thesupermom1975]

Did you see my question?

[@gregboshell977]

Can blueberrys be rooted in the winter or early spring

[@MrDalgard]

blueberry are hardend down from H1 up to H5. so it can survive cold climate. when thats said, the soil does have to be abit soft and not rock solid frozen tho.. but that make sense right ?

[@adronlamb9334]

Is there any problem with taking cuttings in late summer and rooting and growing them indoors through the winter, and then planting them outside in spring? I live in Minnesota and lost a couple of mature potted blueberries due to cold last year. They could be put in the garage if chill hours and dormancy are needed

[@ncfruitgrower]

That is how we do it. Root after july, transplsnt to pots in march

[@janetmcdonald8591]

SO how long do you keep them in the box? for a year? or until spring and then replant outside?

[@ncfruitgrower]

That is correct. As soon as it warms up we transplant into nursery pots.

[@alexstonewall2435]

What size hole did you drill in the PVC and what size tap did you use for the threading? Thank you.

[@ncfruitgrower]

Thanks for asking. I believe the tap was 1/4" NPT. Depends on the nozzles you choose.

[@alexstonewall2435]

ncfruitgrower I wanted to try the same ones you have from Tractor Supply. My local store only had a three pack. They look exactly the same.

[@ncfruitgrower]

Alex Stonewall I just checked my tap. It is a 1/4"-18....... Good luck James

[@cyrilstevenson5833]

Alternatively go online and buy some cheap misters. (16c from china) Put them in 1/2 inch poly pipe and connect to your water tap with a timer. Even every 15 mins is ok.You can also buy cheap root hormone for 80c from china. Works well.

[@joankuc4975]

how do you care for these through the winter. not everyone has a greenhouse. We live in upstate ny where temp can get down to 20 below. I do have a large heated garage, do I keep them in there? Do I mist them throughout the winter. Please tell me about caring for them where I live

[@ncfruitgrower]

Thanks for asking. You can make a simple greenhouse out of white plastic and posts. Our nursery is not heated. We do shut off our water after the cuttings develop roots, the greenhouse just keeps the heavy winds off the plants, but they do go through winter as outside plants. We go down to zero here, I know dormant plants can stand that, but not blooming plants. Hope this helps. James

[@jksatte]

ncfruitgrower Don't they need light even though dormant? You have to accommodate for the lack of light in the garage.

[@ncfruitgrower]

It is not the light they need, just the heat from the light. They will need light when they are planted outside. Thanks for asking. James

[@bonniesoliz141]

I have 2 blueberry plants, I think one is Patriotic and can't remember the other one but they are suppose to get a few feet high. I've had them for about 4 years and they stay at a little over 1 foot high! What kind of soil do you use, or do you put anything special into the soil?? I am in zone 3 and gets way below zero in winter...What are your suggestions for me to grow tall and healthy plants? Thank you

[@ncfruitgrower]

Hello Bonnie, try Diammonium Phosphate (DAP) 18-46-0. This should get the roots growing. Then in six months put some 14-28-14 fertilizer down. Handful per plant. They should start growing.

[@didyouknow6804]

Ok, where is the Mrs? :) Thanks for the great video...

[@growtoeat4173]

You can use ground cinnamon power as a rooting agent its safe and works like a bomb. Thank you for a very informative video.

[@ncfruitgrower]

I will have to try that. Thanks

[@growtoeat4173]

@@ncfruitgrower It really works i have not tried it on Blue berries and i have just purchased 30 plants so when they arrive i will try it on them as well. Stay safe! Thanks for the video.

[@mews56]

How long do blueberry cuttings take to root ? And how do you tell if the cutting has died ?in the Southern Hemisphere does it matter to take the cutting currently in May in it's cutting success rate?

[@ncfruitgrower]

I have found that it takes about 6 weeks to form roots. If the cuttings wilt or turn black, they are dead or dying. We have about a 75% growth rate. Best cuttings are taken early morning during the first of August. Thanks for watching our video. James matthews

[@cyrilstevenson5833]

I have found that cuttings grow best when started the first week in November (Australia). It takes about 3 months to see any root growth while misting constantly. Use good potting mixed with 40% river sand.Best results are not to replant from the grow pot until about 5 months. you can put about 5 cuttings in each pot and seperate later. Some might die while repotting. Coffs Harbour

[@MrWojtas14]

irrigation is also turned on in the night ?

[@DrMosa]

what time of year can i do this method ?

[@ncfruitgrower]

You can start taking cuttings in May. I wait until August after picking. Good luck

[@jasonharrold6686]

I think he said this was done in August

[@davesbest1580]

When doing the cuttings should I just place the cuttings in pine bark or should I just do pine bark and soil

[@ncfruitgrower]

We use fine pine bark. You can mix sand with pine bark, just make sure the water runs through.

[@nazgeoula6441]

I went to your website. Everything is sold out! Will you have any 2 or 3 years for this year?

[@Lady.Luck.]

Does this require sunlight at all? i don't have a mister system but I saw another video where someone kept the planted cuttings in a garbage bag to keep the moisture in. wondering if that will work. also wondering why the need for them to be 1 inch apart

[@ncfruitgrower]

rachaelkoger

[@Lady.Luck.]

I don't see a response at all

[@Lady.Luck.]

ncfruitgrower I don't see a response at all

[@ncfruitgrower]

I do not know why the reply did not post, however you can root cuttings in or out of the sun, you can cover the rootings with something to hold in the moisture. They do not have to be 1 inch apart, they can be further, bu if you root a lot of cuttings, you will need a large box, keeping the air around the stem cool. we just do this way because it has worked for us for years. Thanks for watching our video.

[@ncfruitgrower]

Every 8 inches. you can order different types with different hole distance.

Dear Sir, blueberry grown in Vietnam may bear fruit?

[@donnale5193]

Blueberries hardiness zone is from 3-10 depending on the breed, about -40C to 4C. And according to this map, only North Vietnam is cold enough to grow blueberries. So, Da Lat will not work. davisla.files.wordpress.com/2013/10/south-east-asia-plant-hardiness-zone-map.jpg

[@unidyn2]

Look for plants that grow in Southern California such as the sunshine blue. Need very little cold and grow just about anywhere. In San Diego I'm growing sharp blue, emerald, sunshine blue and bountiful blue.

[@ncfruitgrower]

I do know which variety you will need. We do not ship Internationally. Thanks

[@ncfruitgrower]

Our early plant in the O,Neal. I do not like the variety, mild frost hurts us bad with this variety. Perhaps the Premier and Legacy will do well there, just not sure. Thanks for asking.

[@Rozzie...Brisbane...Australia]

Just thought I should let you know that holding the camera to video is not steady, try moving back from the bed about 1 to 2 feet for a wide angle shot, place the camera on a tripod for stability and as you dip the cutting into the water, just pop over closer to the camera for the dipping into hormone powder, then walk back to the bed to plant, we already know they are spaced 1" apart as you showed us the ruler and markings...Just thought you'd like to know...Rozz..Australia...

After setting the cutting in the rooting bed, you should have roots in about 8 weeks. We keep them in the bed until they have large roots. Transplant august cuttings in march, the next year. Thanks for asking.

[@marlenepisani9887]

Just curious here,,, you state "blueberries only grow on new growth" but then state, " the branch your last berries come from will be next years first berries" so doesn't this conflict what you just stated? if it berries next year isnt that old growth ?

[@ncfruitgrower]

Good morning Marlene, GREAT question. Here is how it works. The main plant will grow each year. Yes, that is old growth. However, new shoots will form from the main branches and produce berries. Each plant will form berry clusters, starting around May. Every week a new cluster will form from the main branches. The branches that formed the first, second, third and so on shoots will reverse the process the following year. Not the shoots, but the main branch. That is why you prune and remove the last year twigs. Feel free to contact me at 252-532-6951. Thanks for watching our videos. James

Why? Why do you ask why about rooting hormone? Probably it is the same reason I ask why. I think the Scientific community needs to provide that answer. Not the "Organic" sales job community. To root a plant with the aid of Indole-3-butyric acid hormone that takes two years to produce a small amount of fruit that may or may not be consumed ???? Hello!!
