Do you have any rare Jp. maple? I will start grafting in April. Looking for rare graft material. Have a lot of seedlings.

I will be getting some cool varieties in a month or so.

Me too. Will send a variety names if you are interested.

By the way , have all figs on your wish list. Will talk about it later. Good night.

Sounds great Bernard

Making preparations to root cuttings of Passiflora "Frederick" and Pomegranate DPUN 0139.

I'm going to try to root some feijoa cuttings in one of my cloners.  I tried it without success last year in ProMix HP like I do with figs.

Japanese Maple anybody?????????????

I've heard from at least three sources with fair to moderate success.  I'm getting desperate to add a Lickver's Pride to my collection (Tom seems inactive in propagating it these days).  I will also attempt some grafting.  And a friend wants an Apollo clones from my tree, I'll also try an airlayer.

Wine Grapes easy, Pomegranates, easy, Pakistan Mulberry 20% success, Olives 30% success.  I bought an air layer of a macadamia nut from a local on ebay.  I wonder if it can be air layered, if cuttings can be taken?  Roses.  Avocados from seed.

Wine grapes root much easier than figs.  Stick em in the ground where you want them to grow.  Let the ground dry on top, then soak them.  Fungus gnats will attack that damp ground and them, so a little sand on top will discourage the gnats!  They like water.  They root easy.  Any dormant part of a grape vine will root, and they air layer easily.  You can take a cane, lay it on the ground, stick a rock on it, and it will root right there!  Now you have a new vine in summer!  EASY!  Figs are a little finicky, like a cat.  Grapes are like dogs.  They are always smiling at ya!

What varieties of grapes do you grow?

I want to try those Wild Grapes for the leaves ... Beautiful Fall colors.

Bernard, I'm not sure where you live, but the grapes I grow were chosen specifically for our climate which has HOT, windy summers and MILD winters.  They are all red wine grapes.  Red wine is easier to make.  White takes a little more chilling and work, so we kicked that idea to the curb, and just buy our white wine at stores.  We grow Touriga National, Carigne, Cabernet Sauvignon No. 8, Mourvedre, Tempranillo, Zinfandel, Malbec and a few others. 

When first planning our vineyard, I researched vines from other countries with our same climate.  I then looked here to find out where to purchase them in the USA.  Many, I started from cuttings from UC Davis.  I also purchased Grafted vines from dealers in the US.

That link is a valuable resource for finding the heritage and information on any grapevine.  It states if it's a table or wine grape.  What is the difference?  Table grapes are seedless and not as sweet.  Wine grapes are killer sweet and loaded with seeds.  The yeast thrives on the sweetness which makes for good wine.  It gobbles up all that sweet, and turns it into alcohol.  Table grapes are not sweet enough for wine.

Aaron, I am thinking of getting some Rogers Red cuttings and sticking them down near a tree (to climb) by our seasonal stream at the bottom of our hill.  At least it will get water down in that area, but it's an aggressive vine and although it's pretty, don't want it anywhere near anything I care about.  Jim and I fight all the time about this "beautiful" worthless pink flowering bush on the property.  For one month it's gorgeous.  Then it's taking up space where I could put a fig tree!

Different strokes.

Suzi, thank you.
Probably not my game.
Currant is easy and fast growing in my area. Love it!

I have had success with grapes, pomegranates, berries, and pineapple ( from the top crown of the fruit.) and I have had good luck with a number of ornamentals, but failures with loquat and feijoa. I knew those two were had to root, but I wanted to try anyway.

I've rooted hydrangeas, sedum and snowball bush from cuttings.
I would like to try to root a cutting from the butterfly bush.
I also had good luck with euonymous plant too.

Moringa Olieferra.  It roots easy.  But you need to live in a place where there is not a freeze.

Just for the heck of it. i rooted a lemmon tree cuttings with my figs. Using the new baggy style method. I took easily

Pride of Madeira, carnations, geraniums, roses, pomes, grapes, passion fruit, milkweed (for the monarchs!). Tried loquat and plumeria but they didn't take.
