Thanks for the video, it's great that people take the time to make videos to help others. I have had much more success with sand. Another YTer also taught me to use a drywall putty knife to just push it down into the wet sand and wiggle back and forth to create a ditch. You can stick more cuttings faster that way. Just use a dishpan or cat litter box with holes in the bottom, fill with sand make your ditch put 10-12 cuttings in it. Then just make another ditch next to the first row after the first row is full and push the sand into it when you make a ditch for the 2nd row.
Great, I now know what to do with the shop bought rootstocks that are still growing after the grafts have failed. Every cloud has a silver lining, thank you my friend👍
How wet was the medium when you put the cuttings in? How often did you water? How long did you wait until you watered the first time? How much water did you use? Thanks!
How would you do the cuttings of plums at this time of the season? I am in Oregon, pretty cold, 65 days and 40 at nights. Plums just bloomed. Do you still have success with this particular rooting hormone? What strength is it?
I could not understand the result of your experiment as your statement was unclear. In particular was perlite good for root generation? Also how long did it take and what was your lighting regime?
Hello BITS I want to see the results of your propagation? I copy all what your doing, just wondering the length of time to wait to root? My cherries were all shootings, you think they roots at least a month or more?
Question: 1. Are you going to use this cuttings as your root stock? 2. Are they any good process to start as an orchard? 3. Do you have a video to show a growing tree from your cuttings? Thank you for your videos.
You failed to say how long the experiment was. How long was it till there was the beginning root growth? Difference in time from those that also leafed out and those who rooted only?
I tried to root in water the large cuttings. Three later, they survive in water, but no roots. Didn't think to consider just rooting the new growth. Will try that.
At least 6-8 weeks, maybe longer depending on conditions - I've read apple and some others can take as long at 6 months, anything older than that it's probably dead. Just check one or two every two or three weeks after the first 6 weeks. I read plum is most readily rooting stone fruit, peach is moderately difficult. Reference info is from Michael. Dirr, buy his books.
I’d like to root some cuttings of a few desired fruit trees but I want want them on their own rootstocks. I hate the suckering from most of the commercial rootstocks. Any thoughts or warnings?
Check your soil type versus rootstock recommendations. Clay, water, nematodes, etc... you can just try it, but 5-15 years is a long time to wait to get nothing in the end, or poor quality fruit not worth the trouble of pruning, spraying, picking, etc. Check fireblyte and other diseases based on your area.
commercial growers use sand. do what you did but use sand only and water as you did! you would have better sucess and roots wouldnt be tangled up when you uproot them. good luck!
Roughly, moss peat, perlite, coconut husk fibre (coir), limestone, micronutrients, gypsum, and some proprietary stuff from the manufacturer. If you are making your own mix choose a sustainable peat alternative. Gypsum, limestone and perlite are for moisture control and pH balance. Blood, fish and bone or vegetable-based alternative can provide the micronutrients but for the purposes of rooting stocks like in this video micronutrients may be more harmful than helpful.
they are used for root stock. Its what you use for the base for set traits (good rooting, disease resistant, fast grower, slow grower and many others), you then graft onto it the favoured fruit tree that you want fruit from. These root stocks are not usually used for fruit as they are useually not good.
@@JamesWhite-tg4kw You plant the rooted cuttings and let them develop into a strongly rooted young tree for a couple of years. Then you cut it off (leaving only the roots) and graft a new top onto it from a know good cultivar. You do this to copy a good fruit, if you grow from seed only 1% or who knows will make a good tasty fruit tree. Some varieties can not be cloned any other way - and/or the chosen rootstock/understock provides additional desirable characteristics, e.g. disease resistance,vigor, etc.
Thumbs down for not mentioning HOW LONG YOU LEFT THEM!!! Come on dude, you put this Science and Technology and you didn't even mention the most critical parameter?
can be from 3 weeks to 1 month dependant on substrate and temp. He made an error in temp (should be between 15-18c) and the substrait should be sand only.

With or without rooting hormones?

What lights did you use, and for how many hours each day? Grow light - regular shop light - or kept them in the dark?

Do cuttings from a grafted tree retain any of the rootstock characteristics?
Question:
1. Are you going to use this cuttings as your root stock?
2. Are they any good process to start as an orchard?
3. Do you have a video to show a growing tree from your cuttings?
Thank you for your videos.
@Always Sunny In West Allis which one you want from me? I’m in Australia, tell me I can send you seeds or cuttings.
1 did you remove buds
2 did you scatch the bark
You failed to say how long the experiment was. How long was it till there was the beginning root growth? Difference in time from those that also leafed out and those who rooted only?
T ... You are the one is not being polite !
Often they will leaf out without growing roots - disaster, that plant is dead. That's why you want bottom heat for root growth and top cool.
I tried to root in water the large cuttings. Three later, they survive in water, but no roots. Didn't think to consider just rooting the new growth. Will try that.
How long it take you to root them, please let me know because I did copy how you did and I have over 800 cuttings.

Can you do this with nectarines?

How long until they make the roots? I'm trying... but seem like waiting forever
thuan tran a month or two
After how many days roots appears
Which rooting harmone has been used
Thank you, looks like I can use my cuttings when the tree is going dormant.
Merci pour l'information!
Hi can you make a follow up video or follow up comment as to what else you did ty
Kya plum m bhi Aida KR skte h
Stimroot #2 contain 0.4% of IBA?
Sir I want full knowledge
wow amazing, you root cuttings of plum and peach!
I want do this from my
rootstock
Can someone tell me what is g6 substrate?
No

How to grow plum seed
Great vid, thank you!!
Great demonstration. Thanks.
I needed Pam root stock and scion
cool!
If you rooted them then why you needed to graft them in the end? Uve ended the video quite inappropriately.

Wakawaka so your saying the actual tree that he grafted them too is the kind of fruit you'll get

@@real_wakawaka Thanks for the reply/post.
What air/substrate temps are best?
In India
Annoying mouth noises…yeah maybe not the best way to start a video!
hard to understand
