Can I plant a blueberry and get a blueberry bush?

Question

My son, who is 7, wants to know

Answer 1

Yes!
Blueberry fruit normally contain up to 65 seeds.

Some studies have shown that fruit with more seeds tend to be larger.

Blueberry seeds are very small, it is best to start them indoors, or outdoors in a protected location, prior to transplanting in permanent location. Sow on surface, cover with tissue, and very small amount of soil. Water as needed. May be transplanted when 4 or more inches of growth are present.http://www.localharvest.org/store/item.jsp?id=8709
Good luck! Hope this helps.

Answer 2

I am by no means an expert on blueberries, but I do enjoy growing plants from seed.

If the blueberry has a seed(s?)[I honestly don't know if they do or not...I'm not a blueberry eater] in them, then yes when the seed is mature then the potential is there to produce a plant. You would want to clean the fruit part from the seed before trying to plant it.

However getting some seeds to germinate & then grow into a plant can be a long & difficult process, but that is another topic for another time.

Good luck if you try it out.
