gash in the trunk

Cuttings root fairly easily and plants from them bear fruit after about 3 years.

12 to 24  inch cuttings taken in winter from one-year old wood get stripped of leaves and the cuttings treated with rooting hormone and inserted about 2/3 into the soil or into some other warm rooting medium. SO yes it needs some chill hours to callous and then warmth

Plants can also be air-layered, which is my current method (see pictures above.) Though, I have a bunch of 8" to 12" green wood cuttings in a propagation tray just to see of they are going to root.


Thanks for the advice. I may ask some more details when the time comes.

I will know more in a few months as my personal observations from current experiments  show results (positive or negative).

Yes thanks for the advice too!  I was going to say, I think the olive tree cutting would be a neat thing to try.  When I get it I will give it a shot and if it works I will definantly send it to ya. Thank you Steve too, I cant wait to try this special tree.
