The new growth is where I was taught to take cuttings from. The softer wood roots easier. My mama bless her soul could cut anything and stick it in a glass jar and it would root.

Thanks for the mention of Australia. Many people miss us and forget we exist.

Love that you explained why you cut where you do around the node, no one ever does!! More undiferentiated cells!..very informative, thanks!!!

Oh man I just ordered blueberry bushes and I was so scared because I didn't know how to plant them and then I went down the rabbit hole and I'm watching all your videos and how to propagate and I'm pretty jazzed I'm very excited to get out in the dirt tomorrow thank you so much for your videos yes I am loving this and yes I am going to be a subscriber thanks buddy!!❤️🎉😁🥳

I always use tip cuttings and plant them close to the parent plant, never have a failure. I cut the very soft top off, strip off 5 inches of lower leaves leaving 2 pair of leaves which I cut in half. Long stems are essential. I have noticed all my cuttings do best near the parent plant. No hormones or humidity devices needed. Worth a try.

You didn't lose 7 plants, you got two free plants. Even with a low success rate, it's better than not attempting at all. Plus, now you know which cuttings are more likely to root. We all learned.

I've read many times that you should not dip plants in the rooting powder bottle but, instead, you put some powder in a small container and dip into that. This prevents infecting the rooting powder bottle with anything off of the cutting.

I tested the timing of rooting blueberry cutting, in New England area, cut off top branches in early March while you have snow covered the yard and grow the cutting inside a room with 50 F degree actually gives the best result. The cutting wakes up in 4 days and starts to grow right after. You don't even need rooting powder, just insert it into a pot, cover them with a plastic bag and see the buds developing by themselves.

My good friend has a blueberry farm. Now am going to have one. Wow super cool I learned so much. God is good to us. I just subscribe.

I love that you started the video with the results on the best type of cutting to use! I'm commenting to drive engagement since I really appreciate the organization of this video.

Blueberry bushes forever.

You want to take cutting in late spring at latest since you want the sap in them to keep them moist and healthy inside and that helps produce the roots. Dry or after berry cuttings will be harder to root.
