Cranberries & blueberries

[Snadger]

Blueberies in growth appear to be similar to blackcurrants which root from cuttings very easily, I would have thought this would be the easiest method of increasing your stock?

Also, as quite a few branches are low down this makes layering another viable alternative to seed. I layer gooseberries and just stick branches of blackcurrants in garden where they root easily.

Cranberry update. Following discussions with my partner in cranberry experiments ^^^^^ I have sown the seeds that had been chilling in the fridge since Chr ***mad. Also a couple of intact cranberries to see whether there is any difference in germination. They're indoors at the mo.

Any signs of germination?

One teeny little green shoot emerged yesterday I'm just hoping it is cranberry and not some other random seed that I may have been playing with that day If more come up I'll be more confident!

Excellent Ananke!! I have a couple of seeds on the surface that appear to have teeny little shoots emerging so I think we can say they take 2-3 weeks to germinate
I wonder how long they'll take before they look like a proper seedling?

I'm dead chuffed with my lemon seedlings too, the leaves are so glossy and healthy looking (no doubt i'll put a stop to that when I forget to water them :0 ) I'll get pics of both tomorrow if I remember

Lots of little cranberry seedlings popping up today
How are yours Ananke?
