Propagating Blueberries from Suckers in North Carolina

A Charlotte, NC gardener sees shoots 1–2 feet from blueberry bushes and asks if they can be cut and replanted in January.

Yes, But Wait for Spring

Select the most tender shoots (woody ones root poorly).
Do not transplant in January; freeze-thaw cycles harm roots.
Wait until early spring after last frost.
Dig with as much root as possible; replant immediately.
Water well and mulch.

Blueberries propagate readily from suckers if timed right.
