Blueberry Plant from a Rooted Stump Shoot. 



The old cut-off stem shown in the illustration is the rooted base of a vigorous shoot from a 

 stumped blueberry. It was removed from the parent plant a year after stumping, was 

 potted in a 4-inch pot, and when photographed was in process of developing two new 

 leafy branches. (Natural size.)
