Rabbiteye blue berries do great here and they are very expensive to buy
small bushes from someone like Park Seed Company, about 15 miles away. I
have friends who have some bushes which have grown here for decades. Tissue
culture sounds like the way to go to if I want to start my own plantation
of blueberries.



Lynn, in late winter you can take cuttings from one year old wood and plant them 2/3 down in potting soil and about half of them will root and grow into new plants. Likewise you can heap dirt or compost around a mature plant and the various stems will set on roots where they are covered with soil. Cut the stem lose and transplant it.
