Growing blueberries

[tkwinston4]

It has very a special flavour. And folks are mad to pick them.
Polish travell with buss to North Sweden to pick them and sell.

It grows on northern bogs and especially on tundra.

I have grown blue-berrys for the first time this year, only had a small crop from 2 small bushes but the berrys are so good i plan to get more bushes for next year

Has anyone successfully propagated blueberries?

I've read the books but my attempts at cuttings have resoundingly failed.

Don't forget to net the bushes. The birds love the berries.
