Rooting highbush cranberry cuttings

Oak Summit Nursery · Southern Manitoba

highbush cranberry can root from cuttings, if you start with vigorous new shoots with a few nodes, trim the large leaves in half to reduce moisture stress and use a medium strength iba talc. bottom heat does speed them up, but this batch only had it on for a week or two while the nights were still cold in june. I use timed mist, it's easier than humidity domes but those can work.
