I just rooted Goji berry from a cutting. I've also rooted pomegranate. What have you successfully rooted from cuttings besides figs?
My apples root fast but I use them for Stock root because they wouldn't fruit until they are 7 y.o or even older...grafting on them pays off fast.Tried rooting Mulberries, not easy. going to try again this season.
This year I am trying hydrangea and grapes and next year I plan to carry over tomatoes via cuttings.
There is a amazing assortment of plants that can be propagated by rooting cuttings. I have a master list of varieties and cultivars, the list includes what type of wood to use (hard, soft, and semi-soft) and when to harvest the wood. I will continue to look for it, and post it when/if I find it.
Grapes, elderberries, ribes, willow from dormant wood. Hardy kiwi, elderberry, plum, mulberry, cornus mas, aronia from summer wood.
Cane fruits are easy. Blackberry and raspberry.
I've tried blueberries and blackberries, but failed spectacularly. Blackberries are easy to reproduce by planting the end of a cane (or dig one up as they all root when they hit the ground). Blueberry plants are easy enough to buy...
Hi anyone know if you could use oak seedlings to graft chestnut ? Thank you
I'd love to hear about anyone's experience rooting persimmon and mulberry. Thanks!
I've rooted mulberry. Need humidity and heat. I'm trying persimmon this yr. So far nothing after 2 weeks.
Plums blueberry and Eldar berry.
Grapes were easy. Other than that and figs all other fruit trees failed from cuttings.
Grapes and roses.
In addition to figs I have rooted dormant grapes, blueberry, willow and roses. Layered Hazelnuts and Magnolia. Have not had success with rooting dormant kiwi, mulberry, persimmon will try again this year. If I can't root it then I graft it or grow seedlings.
My experience is the same with the Persimmons. I failed to root a single cutting.
Cactus. I recently planted several prickly pear cacti from cuttings. I believe that most species of cactus can be easily propagated from cuttings. Basically you cut off a piece of cactus, let the cut end scab over, and then plant it in the ground. Cacti are just about the easiest plants to propagate by cutting.
Anything special to get grapes to root? Can i use a dormant portion that is going to be pruned next year?
I root grapes and roses. The trick for me is to use a one gallon pot or larger and make sure at least two if not three nodes are covered with dirt. My best results come from pruning this time of year. I just trim the cutting after pruning, (sometimes 10-20 cuttings) immediately put it down an inch or two from the rim on the inside of a five gallon pot or larger where another plant is growing. They're rooted by late spring without any special fuss. The more cuttings you put down, the more of a chance you have to get a rooted one. The larger pots hold the moisture better than small ones. But this is SoCal, and rooting cuttings is easy December/January.
