2015 How To Root Blueberry Plant Cuttings

This is our third video. We have 2013 and 2014 cuttings follow-up. See the great plants we rooted.

[@OhioAngler]

You are clearly a Professional grower thankyou for your hard work keeping us in blue berry's and plants for our own garden shop locally support your home town farms or watch conglomerates dictate what you can eat and eventually erase diversity from the planet pay the real cost of food.

[@raton_garden]

Wow so beautiful planting 🎉🎉🎉🎉

[@6mindbraker]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’ve just started to grow 2 blueberry from spring. I didn’t know I cold make more from cuttings. Hopefully I can get more trees in the future.

[@aurelienyonrac]

Hello, the grandfather of my wife sprayed some Roundup 10 years ago and the dandelion are still suffering from it today. All bent and crooked. Who wants that in there body? Not you. Thank you for your honesty. Take care Sir. You are a wonderful person.

[@woodspirit98]

Thank God people aren't dandelions.

[@rotoclip]

my very first view of your channel.thank you for sharing knowledge. from nw wisconsin

[@chris27289]

I have been rooting cutting for a few years now. Mostly landscape plants for around the house. now I'd like to do some fruit plants.

[@ncfruitgrower]

[@captainyak3948]

Thank your Sir! learned a lot from this video...

[@ncfruitgrower]

Thank you. Check out our 2016-2017 video. It is a little long, but well worth it. Again, Thanks

[@FattyMateo]

Some things most home growers hoped to learn: how to water, how much water, how often water, sunlight or no, how long to rooting/ transplant

[@ncfruitgrower]

Rooting plants need mist, growing plants about 1 inch a week in full sun. Rooting take about 3 months, but wait to transplant until root balls are about the size of a golf ball. Thanks for your input

[@TROUBADUO]

You need a dibbler so you can punch all the holes in one push. Johnny's has a 72 cell plug popper that works for 72 cell trays, but you'd probably have to make a 50 for your trays.

[@ncfruitgrower]

Thank you

[@scottsiemer]

"Yes Sir!" - Great helper!!

[@buffalopatriot]

Beyond helpful !! Thank you, sir.

[@mgt00656]

thks for all the help!! Got your email about the spray times and what to do about winter time. Thanks so much!!

[@jodismith3241]

I live in the NEK and wondered how long it takes to take root? do I need to keep them inside or do they stay outside?

[@mikkelkaagaard717]

Thank you for sharing.

[@JohnMartinez-sm1sk]

Great information video

[@williammerrow]

Spray vinegar mixture instead of Roundup to kill young grass

[@woodspirit98]

When you grow blueberries you can use use anything you like. Let us know how it works for ya.

[@johnparkerthegimpygardener]

Have another question . What type of green house is that ?? it appears to have a shade cloth. and do you use any bottom heat ?? thanks again

[@nikkonovalov991]

Great video, thank you. Please tell me, for a successful rooting process is the presence of the greenhouse is required? Another question: What flow rate on the sprinklers. Thank you.

[@ncfruitgrower]

I have seen rooting beds outside, but I have always used a small greenhouse. My water rate is 4 second spray every 10 minutes.

[@nancyfahey7518]

Ya there were several things I do not agree with, but you are a blueberry expert I think. I switch the thumbs down to a thumbs up for the time and effort to make the video. And a thank you. What happened to you're little helper? Got the urge to go play? As they get older they will realize that this is the real play time.

[@fourakres]

What did you use for soil? Potting mix? Soilless mix?

[@ncfruitgrower]

Ground up fine pine bark

[@fourakres]

ncfruitgrower- - thx! Luv ur videos!! do u think ground up pine cones could b a substitute? Maybe put through the shredder & composted awhile??

[@abduvaliredjapov6366]

Good time of day. Please tell me, what should be the PH level of water used for rooting? The PH level of the substrate is important in the rooting process.

[@ncfruitgrower]

We use county water. We keep our soil between 4.5 and 5. I believe out county water is neutral, 6.5 to 7. Thanks for asking

[@stephaniemacklin5459]

When is the best time of year to do this? Can it be done any time of the year?

[@moayadmyro2091]

Best time in spring I think and worset in fall or first of winter

[@lanedouglas2165]

Anyone have the Tractor a Supply part number. Visited my local store, plus on line. Can't find any nozzles like these in use. Thanks

[@realry329]

Hi! Good day! Did you apply bottom heat to your cuttings?

[@lesliegrayson1722]

I like his style :) lightly round up, I think you could use a harsh nitrogen as well that would kill the weeds and be good for the blue berries later but I wouldn't know how much, I suppose I will find out though :) wood chips are what the pros use.

[@noahsgamingvlog3062]

Love your mister system. Would like to know more about it. Does your water source come directly from your Spigot?. What kind of PSI does this mister need? What are your bed dimensions? Is that 2 X 6s? How tall are the PVC pipes going up? and how long are the ones going out? Thanks

[@ncfruitgrower]

Thanks for watching our video. Our water source is County water. We hook up directly to the spigot, psi is what ever the county provides, however we open the spigot 1/4th turn. This bed is 2'x8'x6". Keep your nozzles about 36" above the cuttings. The position of the nozzles depend on the width of your box, nozzles in the middle. Hope this helps. I will be posting a "How to build your misting system" video this summer. Again Thanks for watching. James Matthews

[@abduvaliredjapov6366]

Hi. Please tell me, does the humidity level affect the rooting process? The fact that I put the cuttings from last year's shoots in early March, the PH of the water is stable 5,0, the air temperature during the day 25-30 C Celsius at night 16-20 C. after 4 weeks, small leaves began to germinate, some even had shoots 4-5 cm long, the end of may all the leaves died. Cuttings continue to remain green and not rooted. Irrigation is done with sprinklers 40 l/h, every 8 minutes, throws for 10 seconds. All this happens in the open field where the humidity during the day at the level of 30-35%.

[@woodspirit98]

Blueberries don't do well with metric system.

[@888hope888]

Hi, can that be done in the Fall, to let them grow indoors till the spring? Its end of September now. I also would like to propagate that way my Royalty raspberry plants indoors. I have the root hormone.

[@ncfruitgrower]

We take cuttings in August and root them through the Fall and Winter. I have never tried to root indoors through the winter. Good luck and thanks for watching.

[@joelyboyblue]

Would like to see how these turned out

[@ncfruitgrower]

Just finished the video on our transfer from trays to pots.. it is called 2016 cuttings from 2015

[@edwardnbishop2011]

Does it help to not pull some leaves at the tip of each cutting when you are getting multiple cutting from 1 branch ?

[@ncfruitgrower]

I have tried several ways rooting. The cutting has to get water through the skin and cut in the soil. It seems when I leave a small leaf on the tip, they do better. I think this helps with holding water. I do get multiple cutting from one branch, sometime 3 or 4, but I separate them and only put one shoot per hole for rooting. Thanks for watching our videos.

[@veradorevskadorevska5539]

Sho how's is planning is st with the branch or was with them some seeds

[@ncfruitgrower]

We use the tips of a branch.

[@johnparkerthegimpygardener]

thank you for the info!! i have bin searching for a timer that will work 3 sec every 10 min. and have had no luck . can you give me a direction . looked at you web page if you sell something please let me know ,did not see a timer or valve that work together . also what do you have on the floor ? is it porous ? could not find the PDF on the web page . i am not good with the computer !!!! thanks again for the videos !

[@chris27289]

look up DIG 5006-ip propagation timer.

[@ncfruitgrower]

Freetime Thanks for the input. This timer will work just fine.

[@cyrilstevenson5833]

you can use the 15 min cheap on off timer. then get some mist jets from china aliexpress.com and stick them into 1/2 inch polypipe job done

[@malebuls]

Looks like plant to composted bark

[@luigi5890]

Apparently you don't have any Deer munching on your plants.

[@ncfruitgrower]

I installed 10 ft fence completely around all my orchards. The USDA guy laughs when he visits

[@luigi5890]

@@ncfruitgrower That will do it, unfortunately my property doesn't permit that, it would look like the county prison. Lol

[@tomcagle2262]

Pity there is no way to forward this

[@ncfruitgrower]

Go to mistkits.com. The DIG 5006-IP may be the answer for your timer needs. You will have to purchase a valve, but a 10 second on time every 10 minutes should work fine for rooting Blueberries.

[@lesliegrayson1722]

thank you.

[@BLTROY25]

Boo to you. Roundup is POISON!

[@woodspirit98]

So don't use it. When you invest a million in growing crops and years of hard labor you should try singing to the weeds and see if it works.

[@c8086o]

@@woodspirit98 You clearly don’t care about yourself, your family, and anyone who eats your crops if you use roundup.

[@woodspirit98]

​@@c8086o who said I grow crops you fool. I just don't buy into all the BS.

[@ricardorodriguesrr18]

​@@c8086oand using it you are even more exposed than eating crops grown with it

[@williamhays3322]

"Organic" hormones, of course. Har!

[@rosewild6020]

Ok

[@wardcampbell5885]

Roundup... are you serious.

[@Rattlerjake1]

Spraying herbicides, especially glyphosate, is the LAZY man's way of weeding! And the unhealthiest way!

[@lesliegrayson1722]

I like his style.

[@williamhays3322]

Great invention! Only kills Yuppies and Green idiots.

[@ryanduckering]

Monsanto was just recently successfully prosecuted for their use of roundup and their repeated denial of its harmful effects and deliberate misdirection of governments and people asking questions. So not, its not great, it causes cancer and its now a fact in the eyes of the law.

[@clmtdmmjcmm4489]

Great info on the video. Very disappointed to see you using round up around any food bearing crop. So sad

[@ncfruitgrower]

2015 video. Round-up has not been use here in years. Thank for watching.

[@nkel6111]

like most video poster on gardens/vegetables you too fail to mention gretest aid. WHERE ARE YOU AT????? If you are in Bermuda, and I in Michigan, your comments are seriously questionable. for that a thumbs down. Did you say 14-28-14 fertilizer. Sir, you are a totl waste of time, a rookie amateur. yes waste of time as you mumble.

[@ncfruitgrower]

Thank you for you comment. YES. 14-28-14 is the preferred fertilizer in NORTH CAROLINA. Also recommended by the HORTICULTURE department at North Carolina State UNIVERSITY. If you read the trailer, you would have seen our location, address and phone number. Again, thank you for your comment.

[@zaappp1588]

Lol, I understood you just fine. Of course, I'm from NC too. Maybe if our fellow Michigander was a Buckeye, he'd be a little friendlier and be able to understand the Queen's Southern English, lol!

[@ymrelang]

I wish you would speak less!!!!!
