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.

Taking blueberry cuttings at this time of year offers several advantages. Firstly, the plant is in a semi-dormant state, which means it can focus its energy on root development rather than leaf growth. Secondly, the cooler weather reduces the risk of fungal infections and dehydration, common issues when propagating in warmer months. Lastly, by starting the propagation process now, your new plants will be ready to transplant in the spring, giving them a full growing season to establish themselves.
