Finding Blueberry and Other Berry Seeds for Propagation

Berry Seeds Are Hard to Find

Berry shrubs are usually propagated by cuttings (faster fruiting). Seeds are rare. If you find them, they need cold stratification: sow in soil, seal in bag, refrigerate 90 days, then warm for germination.

For quicker results, buy plants or root cuttings.
