Blueberries surely can be rooted from cuttings. I once had to root 1000 for research when I worked for the USDA. They do not root as easily as many other fruit bushes though. I took my cuttings in late winter, then had them under mist.

Don't know about dormant cuttings, but cuttings taken in July typically root very easily...

Subject: [NAFEX] blueberry layering

Whenever I trim my blueberry bushes, I'm tempted to stick some of the stronger twigs in the ground and see if they'll sprout.  I know you can layer blueberries by burying a live branch underground and it will slowly develop roots and can be cut off from the mother plant.  I know it's a long shot, but has anybody ever had any luck with rooting the cuttings from pruning a blueberry bush?  Jerry in southern Indiana.
