Blueberry bushes hate lime if thats any help

 

Hi there I am new to this forum, and new to gardening.
I have had a blueberry bush for about 7 years now and every year I have a good crop from it. Is it possible to take cuttings, as I would like to expand, if so does anyone know when the best time to do this??? Please? The bush is a later fruit baring tree.
Also I have noticed this year that I have a bush covered in blossom and the two or three leave buds have just opened up, how usual is this to have blossom before leaves?

Hi poppet, you are very lucky to have been given two blueberries as they are very expensive to buy.

Hi and welcome kattia5. I don't have any blueberries myself so cannot help with your question I'm afraid, but the link that Dave W gives advice and how to propagate from cuttings. Click on the 'More detailed advice' button near the bottom of the page.
Good luck

 

Hi poppet There's a lot of info. about Blueberry bushes on this site.
Go to "Container Gardening" and then onto "Container Grown Fruit Trees". Should give you all the info. you need. All the best .
