- When is the Best Time to Take Hardwood Cuttings? In this episode of Plant Propagation 101, we'll explore the best time to take hardwood cuttings and why. We're going to get into all the details of why I like to take them in late winter and place on bottom heat and the advantage this timing provides as spring and summer emerge.

Well I just happened to find that my goats made me some apple tree cuttings. I think they're still viable . When do you want me to send you these goats.
In about 50 years, lol. The deer have been taking their own cuttings here too.
@@MikeKincaid79 Turns out one of my other favourite channels, Jason, from Fraser Valley rose Farm, recommends your channel Mike!.... Birds of a Feather😊🍺
Thanks for letting me know John
Yes, I really want to learn about apple tree cuttings! Yes, Yes, Yes! and Cherry and Pear trees!
Have I told you how much I am flat DIGGIN this series?
Really looking forward to the apple and peach hard wood propagation. Your project aligns with something I’ve been wanting to do up here with a Prunus variety.
I’ve got some ideas and I’m going to do my best to make this epic. Hope I don’t let you down, lol
@@MikeKincaid79 let me down?!? Shoot, that’s about impossible, brother. Very worst case scenario is I learn what not to do. And the only time you came close to that is where to take the best blueberry cuttings from 2 or 3 seasons ago. And that was more of the planting saying “challenge accepted”.
You’re the man, Mike. I’ve got a Kincaid notebook full of success to prove it
Interesting, I am thinking to making a prune collection - terrace potting...I am not sure how to go about it.
yeah buddy! i've even taken green giant cuttings in February (zone 5) and rooted them in my tent inside. life just wants to grow. oh jah bless it!
Yep!
Very right about that! Saves space and worries too 🙂
Yes! Much less worrisome.
Imm going to try some fig trees this year and some peach apple pear trees thank you for all the good info
You got it
Sounds fun! Looking forward to it.
I intend to do some apple and cherry cuttings. Thank you so much for reminding me. I will definitely be watching and saving those upcoming videos.👍
It should be fun! Enjoy your holidays Darla.
@@MikeKincaid79 TY Mike, I will. You too! 🌲
You are absolutely right about rooting anything. Norwegian Maples, all you have to do, like you said is put a branch in your compost pile over the winter and in spring they start rooting themselves. This tree is actually listed as an invasive plant in New England. I watched one of your past videos on propagating clippings. I thought I would give it a shot in the middle of November. I cut 8 lilac clippings, 8 blueberry clippings, and 6 apple tree clippings. I dipped each one of them into a vitamin B1 liquid for less than five seconds, dipped them into a rooting powder and two-three weeks later the blueberry and lilacs are already covered in buds and one of the lilacs has leaves growing out of the top. Nothing from the apple tree yet but I'm not giving up. I've had grow lights on them for at least 12-14 hrs a day and they seem to be thriving. Going to wait a few weeks more and then seperate them and put them each in their own pot. And the best part is, like you said they are exact clones of their mothers so I know exactly what kind each of them are. The apple trees I clipped are Cortland apples.
That is so awesome to hear. I love hardwood propagation and the use of bottom heat as a boost to the root growth. Will be doing more videos on this over time. Thanks for sharing your personal experience!
Looking forward to getting some hardwood mulberry cuttings.
That'll be fun. Those mulberry sure do like to root.
Thank you so much for helping me understand how to propagate roses. I got some rose branches from someone that’s very special to me and I see some leaves coming out! Omg it’s so exciting! And it’s all thanks to you! God bless you. ❤
It is so exciting no matter how many times you see it! I'm happy for you that you had success. Great job!!! I actually noticed a couple tiny roots on an indoor hydrangea cutting I did recently, and I still get excited.
@@MikeKincaid79 that’s incredibly sweet of you to respond. Yes Hydrangeas are my next project. I am new to gardening and I love watching your videos. Your channel is full of good information. Thanks again!
I broke my own rules about not cutting my hardy hydrangeas before they bloom and cut several stems of mature seeds two months ago. Can you share any advice about how to plant and grow these from seed as plants they came from grow over four foot per year
Love it, Mike!
Thanks!
Mike, this is very exciting ...several years ago, I tried to root cuttings from an apricot tree, one my grandmother had grown in Colorado. Well, I had no idea what to do so I just stuck a couple branches in some water, before heading home. Well, needless to say, that was a total bust, all I ended up with was slimy rotted twigs in some really stinky water. Since apricot trees are similar to peach trees, I need to pay close attention to your upcoming videos on propagating fruit trees. I would love to have a clone from grandma's tree growing in my backyard. Blessings to you and your sweet family! ~Margie🤗🌱🍑
I better get serious and perform for you Margie! Hahaha. I haven't actually done it yet with peaches but I know it can be done and I intend on figuring it out until I'm successful. I'll film whatever I do to get there. Got some cool ideas about it.
@@MikeKincaid79 I always learn something new from your videos and I really didn't expect to have a great outcome from placing apricot twigs in water ...but you'll never know unless you try! 🤪🤗
Learning so much! Thanks for these videos.😊
You are so welcome, Lori!
Thank you so much for that, it helped me alot as usual. And as usual I loved the video, and your expertise in the subject. I personally sit and wait for another video, they are so good. Love to you and the family❣️💖😇😊🤗
Thanks so much Glenda. I wish I could be full time at this and crank out videos more often. Thanks for all your support.
Thank you so much for this video. I was thinking about this and you made it clear to do hardwood cuttings end of winter beginning of spring. Once again thank you for a very well done video.
No problem, John. Just make sure to take any cutting material that might not make it through the winter and store in the fridge.
@@MikeKincaid79 Do you just store in a ziplock bag, or add mulch in it?
Yep, I just throw them in a ziplock bag and into the fridge. No special preparation.
Love it mike! I'm onboard! Can't wait to see the videos start to roll out!
It’ll be a while but I’ve got some excavator videos I need to get edited in the meantime. Finishing up a big electrical project for the new house.
@@MikeKincaid79 that’s awesome. I’ll be looking.
I was just wondering this today! Nice timing Mike!
Enjoy!
I just used your link to purchase some stuff on Amazon I hope this works:-) keep these videos coming and I will keep using your links 😁 hormodin 3 works like a charm btw thanks!
Cool, thank you! It all helps. I’ll keep making videos as long as you keep watching them.
@@MikeKincaid79 oh we will:-) you are putting out a great content so it’s a pleasure to watch thanks again!
Hey, nieto! I want to try some Golden Dorsett apple cuttings and am looking forward to hearing more from the master teacher. (all peasants will now drop to the floor and bang heads three times to Master Mike! :) Fig cutting, I can take them and plant directly into peat or store the cuttings in the fridge. They get wrapped in wet newspaper and stored in a plastic bag. Peach and pomegranate erk.
Easter is 17 April. Late Easter, late spring.
Westfield seek-no-further apple. A man bought land in the Westfield, MA, area when it was a colony. He put the house and orchard on a hill to stay safer from raiders. Later, the family moved away, but one tree refused to give up. When a storm took it down, it drove branches into the rocky soil that sprouted. It did this a number of times over 200 years, and the tree is still there, tho far downhill from where it first grew. Hasta, nieto! Bueno suerte.
Wow, that's a cool story! Going to have to look that one up.
Well done as per usual. Great content
Thank you so much. I always wondering can I root at winter? Now I know.
Thank you very much for such a informative videos
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this!
Very good 👍
Thank you 👍
Hi Mike, so good to see you! You did this at the right time! I want to see if I find some arborvitae to take cuttings from all put a green live fence around the house and so many other things.
Hugs 🥰🤗🙏 I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving! Thankful for God being in my life, for His provisions and for friends like you! God bless you and your family ❤️🙏
I had to work on Thanksgiving but we had a nice dinner last night. By the way, the feeling is mutual. It’s good to have friends like you. Good luck with those arborvitae cuttings!
That's wonderful Mike! Thank you Mike! As far as arborvitae, I still have to find some to get cutting from...lol.
love your videos little bro.
Great information.
Glad it was helpful!
great info as usual. I prefer to take my hardwood cuttings late because then they are in the house a shorter time and my house is really small with no room to keep them for very long.
Yes, 100%.
I follow you over Garden Answer bro! Great videos!
Wow, I'm honored, thanks!
Awesome video Mikey Mike
Thanks Marky Mark, lol
As always, enjoyed the video. I have learned alot from your videos. I should have paid more attention to my Dad when I was young and he was showing me how to graft trees. I do have a question. I am getting ready to build my hoop house, what type of covering would you consider best to use? I am in North Georgia if it makes a difference.
Definitely make sure it’s a plastic that is rated for sun exposure. Green house plastics have UV inhibitors that extend there life. Most of them are rated to last 4 years but mine has been in place for just over 13 years. I use a white plastic that blocks about 50% of the sun. I chose that plastic because I mainly grow rhododendrons and they like shade. You can purchase the plastic online at a greenhouse supply and they’ll ship to your door.
Always look forward to your postings I live in Auburn. I got green giant cuttings and general Cedar types set up this fall. How many months does it usually take before you notice some strong root growth. I Set this up at the end of August early September. So far about 80% of them are looking great. Also I'm doing this as a hobby as well. I'm afraid I'm going to have too many for me to handle. Do you have any advice on how people can donate trees or any places that take them. I could maybe sell them cheap I suppose as well.
I'm sure you'll have no problem getting rid of them. You could dump them easy for a couple bucks each with an ad on Facebook.
Hey Mike, I am still waiting for the parkistan mulberry plant, please let me know when they've ready for purchase ,thank you, for this video very informative.
My little plant is still just putting on small growth. It may be a while before that one is available.
Makes a lot of sense. Btw how is the injury you had a while back with you hand hope it’s improved
It's gone as far as it'll go and I've come to accept it. Hasn't made any progress since about the 6 month point other than a little less sore.
Have you done any videos on spruce or fir trees
No videos yet, but I plan on it.
Didn't have much luck with late season cuttings last year but older roses have been growing over two months since they grew from under snowdrifts. Late snowstorms first week of April May make these hardwood cuttings but any other advice for soft green cuttings I want to start this month.
Trying hardwood wysteria cuttings tomorrow
Good luck
I’m another one that needed this right now. I got some cuttings from a one gal Sycoparrotia semidecidua varigata top. The tree was broken in half when delivered. I prepared cuttings correctly, left couple leaves I trimmed on ea cutting because the entire tree was still green albeit very dry from the trip. I’m wondering what you would do with them now since the plant wasn’t dormant…but as you know it’s semi deciduous. I stuck them in my plant room where I have a large grow light I use in winter for succulents etc..OR should I leave them in the glassed in mud room that’s almost exact outside temp. Im in NE Oklahoma Any suggestions from you or other viewers would be appreciated. Thank you for your drive for teaching and sharing!
Hey Cindy! If you want the cuttings to grow roots now then you'll need them in a warmer environment. I would keep them inside under your grow light and give them 6 to 8 weeks to root. Rooting typically happens more slowly for landscape plants that are rooted indoors under light but that's what you've got right now since it's winter. Good luck!
@@MikeKincaid79
Thank you! I see exactly what you mean, makes sense now.
Thank you, good video. I have a question about figs, when they go into dormancy should you remove all the little figs or are some of the smaller ones the breba's for the next year or do the breba's appear in the spring of the next year? Thanks
You can remove any larger figs but the little pea sized figs that might look like large buds are your brebas.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you
Nice❤❤❤👌
Hi I'm Shaun Taylor From the UK. Love your vids. Could you tell me about acers and how to take cuttings and what location off the plant to take cuttings from like top middle bottom if you have choices. Many thanks Shaun
Take cuttings from the tips in the early summer. Place under intermittent mist for best results.
How about Forsythia and purple leaf sand cherry? 1st year growth top cuttings?
After the y bloom but before they go hard stem?
Hi Mike did you have any joy taking the more substantial hardwood rose cuttings in spring time?
Hey, glad to hear from you. I never did the project, lol. Just got too busy. Definitely think about it and want to follow through with it at some point. And I've never forgotten your videos. Once I get it done, I'm giving you credit.
@@MikeKincaid79 if you do it and it works all credit will be yours :) but I agree that is the best time of year to do it. Best of luck ;)
Please do a video on replanting Christmas trees. I’ve seen mixed information on whether or not a Christmas tree can be replanted. There are many videos of people sticking a cut tree in the ground after the holiday but they never follow up to see if the tree survived. What are your thoughts? Thank you and Happy Holidays!
Are you talking about trying to re-root a cut tree?
Mike. I just got a perfect Rhode location cleaned up and ready to go. It’s on the north side of a row of tall conifers. I’d like to put in rhodys that are going to get 8-10 feet and blocky the view of my neighbors drive way. What would be your favorite Rhody to do that with. By the way, it seems your nursery is only 2:15 minutes from my house and I’m headed that way next week. Is your nursery really in Yelm Washington?
Yes, but I'm a wholesale nursery. I don't have a retail setup here. For a hedge of rhododendrons to block out your neighbors, I have 2 favorites. They are rhododendrons Grandiflorum, and Boursalt. Both can usually be found at local big box stores and they are both very good growers that will acheive large size and a thick bushy look if given enough time. Most of the larger rhododendrons like those are rated at growing to 6 feet in 10 years, so it will take some time. You can speed that along with a deep layer of mulch, constant drip irrigation through the summer, and annual fertilization with a slow release fertilizer. Also, don't plant them too close to the base of the conifers unless you have constant water going to them as the conifers will suck the life out of the soil around them (as I'm sure you are aware). The only thing else I'd add is that the ideal condition is for them to get about 50% shade through the day. The best time to shade them is in the late afternoon when the sun is beating down and the air is the hottest.
I’m just trying to expand my tree plantings
IF I WAIT TO PRUNE APPLE TREES IN THE LAST WEEK OF APRIL IN ZONE 5 in Michigan can I start the new cuttings form those new end cutting?
Yes
I'm not sure where you're located but for everyone watching please know that Burning Bush is invasive in much of the US. Please choose a native species or at the very least, something non-invasive ❤️
I have taken my fig cuttings and am getting them ready to store in the vegetable crisper in a zip lock bag. I years past, I had trouble with mold and rot by putting in a piece of moist paper towel. I am a little more sophisticated this year and have one of those RH meters that fit inside a quart jar. I have it inside my zip lock to check the relative humidity. I can not find any information on what the ideal RH would be for winter storage of cuttings. My RH gadget is reading 82 now inside the bag and I am wondering what number I should be shooting for. I am sure this makes a big difference in the amount of time cuttings can remain viable inside the fridge.
I'm not that sophisticated, lol. I just clean them, rinse them off, and put them in a plastic ziplock bag while still moist. In fact, most of the time I don't even clean them. I know that doesn't sound very scientific, but it works well for me. If you're worried about them then I'd just clean them off with soap and water, and store in plastic bags.
hi, mike. i have a geranium for years as an indoor plant. yes, it is now hardwood lanky and I want to root it to make a shorter and newer plant. is it a possibility? is air layering a possibility? ==> the one pothos cutting I kept after chopping off the rest has gone massive again. it's one heck of a plant. tia, cp.
I'll bet it's possible to root them as air layers. Never tried hardwood cuttings but that's an interesting idea. I'll have to work on that one.
@@MikeKincaid79 - thanks mike. i'm gonna try. cp.
I'm very new at Planting what is the best soil mix for propagating flowers in florida.
Here's a good video that will set you on the right path: ua-cam.com/video/eLXHy4A4-xk/v-deo.html
Which one is better, soil or water propagation, in your opinion?
Neither is better. It just depends on the plant and time of year. I personally prefer soil.
Good morning,may i ask one question that what is the best month to grow rose from cutting in hot countries
It's not about the month, but the condition of the wood is what it most important. I like to take the cuttings when the new growth is just starting to firm up and the bloom on top is just starting to end.
I want to try to root apples. I know I'd end up with BIG trees rather than dwarfed ones but just rooting them instead of starting a seed and then grafting would be so much faster I think. (Plus I think I got that trunk splitting disease in the roots that can't be got rid of. )
I’m sure you’d be fine with whatever root system your cuttings create. Heavy mulch smooths over a lot of problems and you can prune the trees to whatever size you want. Good luck!
Hey Mike.. as good to take care of figs , peaches, apples to growing up as good for next spring and about planting Xmas plants like red portsitta?
Good job, Mike awesome 👌 👍🪴👋
Thanks! Should be a fun set of videos coming.
@@MikeKincaid79 yes I'll forward to see your Xmas plants video soon ! 🎄 👍🪴
Do you have any suggestions on camellia cuttings?? When is the best time for these?
Take them in the late summer as semi-hardwood cuttings and place on bottom heat through the winter. Some people prefer to take them as hardwood cuttings.
Can I try and get apple cutting started now and what would be the easiest way to get done l had to cut them to set and protect the trees that are only two years old
Yes, and to answer your question is going to take a video, which I intend to do.
I’m looking for like 200 green giant arborvitae to make a giant privacy hedge. Is there anyway you can help me out?
i tried propagating my plum tree with coconut coir and no dome just after winter has almost ended and now its 3 months later and my plums have formed calas, but no more leaves have started to shoot, and now it seems my cuttings are starting to die as there leaves start to dry out, they flowered and leafed but nothing anymore, any tips, should i start after flowering has started ? any tips
Hey, I was wondering if you had ever tried to propagate Cedrus, specifically Cedrus Brevifolia?
I have not tried to propagate that one yet.
What is the best temperature & humidity to grow rose cutting?
Near 100% humidity, about 80 degrees F.
Adiós 👋🏻👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻🪴🌱🙋🏻♀️
Have you rooted conifer cuttings other than green giants ?
I've never gotten any maples to root. Tried hundreds in leaf piles and/or sand, but they always rot before they root.
I haven’t tried but I’m sure it’s possible and I plan to prove it over the next couple years.
@@MikeKincaid79 Cool...I'm going to try some cedar cuttings since they layer pretty good. I've also seen some old data saying Firs can root sometimes.
Anyone here from Western Australia? Wanted to try this but unsure with the weather
You guys are knee deep into spring by now. If the plants are still just breaking dormancy then you can take hardwood cuttings, in fact, you really can take hardwood cuttings anytime. Just take the firm woody material further down a branch and cut off any actively growing leaves.
Are there others following this video?
So 6 weeks b4 spring,using bottom heat?
Thank you
Not yet, but I plan to continue adding to this series as we go. I have plans to do one on bottom heat and more hardwood cutting info.
Mike, aren't soft fruit trees like peaches and apples mostly grafted to get the fruit true to form? Like, for instance, a Gala apple tree, if you take a cutting and root it, you may not get a Gala apple? You'll get an apple but not the same?
Whether you graft it or root a cutting , you will get an identical clone of the parent. You may be thinking about seeds. You will get diversity with seeds.
@@MikeKincaid79 Ahhh you are right! I spaced there. Here's something I always wondered, will a rooted cutting be as robust a tree as a grafted one?
@@DianePahl Depends on the genes. When you select seeds for the fruit, you might get unwanted properties in other areas. Grafting on another root might help mitigate some of those, like resistance to soil conditions and pathogens, or a more manageable shape
@@andruloni Thanks! Good to know.
Best way to root raspberries Mike? I live in Canada with brutal winters.
I prefer to pull up the runners in early spring and pot them up. Got a video about it somewhere around here.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks will do same.
Do you use sand ? It looks like some type of mulch.
It’s finely ground fir tree bark.
Excellent videos on propagation!!
Two things to note about your propagation playlist though..
1. The playlist is missing episodes 1 and 2.
2. For some reason there is a Joe Rogan podcast episode in your playlist.
All taken care of, thanks for bringing that to my attention!
@@MikeKincaid79 no probs! Thanks for putting out great content! 👍
Can you root pine trees?
Yes, and I plan to get to that one eventually
I just rewatched this to ensure I heard something right…
Weigela propagate from Hardwood fairly successfully?
(I didn’t take any softwoods as I didn’t want to weaken the plant in its first year on my mountain while it was getting established)
Absolutely! I started with hardwoods on that plant and got a huge success rate. Very easy for that one
Hey Mike, I had the greatest Willow cutting! They looked just like the ones you worked with on the video. I put all in clean water (100pcs x 6 “ - 10”. They came from a neighbor a few streets down. It was the middle of past December. Two weeks later the mother tree went to sleep. I was worriedwould stems started to become would do something strange But within a week EVERY CUTTING produced the little white that root buds. I was so elated. I have pictures and the aren’t the best. The main tote is doing ok but it started brown the stems and drop leaves. I’m totally afraid to keep this up when loosing every stem is disheartening. Could you give me a little advise or a link to research.I’m totally confused with “don’t water-do water. If you have just a moment to point me in a good direction. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.
What size cuttings are you using? Sometimes the thin wispy cuttings will root and then don't do well once transplanted. Try thicker (1/2 or thicker) cuttings. They tend to hold up better. Willow cuttings will root very well in water and there shouldn't be a problem with that. Have you seen all my willow videos. I cover a lot of the information you may be looking for.
Here's a link to a willow video. Soil vs water cuttings: ua-cam.com/video/e2RIrUcNR8U/v-deo.html
@@MikeKincaid79 yep thin & wispy alright. I don’t know how long after sprouting new growth I should wait to cut. And should it be pencil size? I tried to pencil size but could not reach it. Thanks cindy
Grab that tree by the horns and pull them branches down, hahaha. I can see you now, determined and yanking the thicker growth down toward you. Pencil size or larger is best. Use hardwood cuttings in the winter.
Hi Mike,
Do you grow Ruby Sleepers Hydrangeas? If so,do you sell them and do mail orders. We are in zone 9b California. Thank you
I do have them but don't sell online at this time.
@@MikeKincaid79
Thank you, we will continue to watch your videos and and learn from your ideas.
Really, do you know where I can find whole sale green giant. My grandma has 15 acres of farm. There are houses now along 1/2 of the property. I just want to plant a giant hedge along there this year. An acre is 208ft/208ft, 208x15/5=624, so I’d need at least 624 trees lol
That's a lot of trees! I'd start by checking Amazon. That's where I originally bought mine. They came from a nursery in Florida and were small and compact. I immediately up potted them to 1 gallon and grew them in the hoop house for 1 more year before planting out. It took a little time and effort but much better prices buying them small.
@@MikeKincaid79 I appreciate your response. I saw some of those but wasn’t sure of the quality, that makes me feel better about trying them. That is certainly a lot of trees tho, it will probably end up being like 500 but better than invasive honeysuckle bush I think.
If you were to take cutting in the summer, what’s the best month. Under shade and using a misting irrigation system, what would be the best cycle to mist? Example mist for 10 seconds once every 10 minutes, 8am-6pm. Suggestions?
The question is too broad. This will vary based on the plants you are working with and the climate you live in. Mist is a great system but each method has it's pros and cons.

I’m going to take my well established 20 y/o Fig tree cuttings, within the next 2 weeks.
It’s 4 March now & I’m worried. I promised my cousin in Puerto Rico I’d send already rooted cuttings to him in Puerto Rico. But my major queries are: 1) How to wrap the cuttings for safety, moisture & then, how to send them (FedEx/UPS/USPS)?
I don’t even know if I’m allowed to send live plants to Puerto Rico; anyone know?
And
2) This Fig Tree I propagated years ago from a few 1” thick cuttings my Italian great Granddad planted when he came to America.
The original tree had to be moved because the next-door neighbor wanted it out wanted plain old flowers 🌺 between our houses.
So, this Fig tree is old about 20 yrs.since I planted it from the original tree’s cuttings.
It’s been wonderful & every year since, the other (nice Fig loving) neighbors are thrilled to share in my sweet tasty Figs in August/September.
So really, the second question 🤷🏻♀️ after all that explanation is…. Exactly what species/type of Fig tree is my Great- Granddad’s Fig?!!! After all these years, I’ve asked everyone I can, to look at the leaves, Bark & Figs but no one around here knows!
How in the heck can I get a definitive answer what kind of Fig Tree do I have in my front yard now? I’d pay a fortune to find out what kind of tree did my Great- Granddad plant probably came from Italy+/- 80-100 years ago?
Does anyone know if you can send plants to Puerto Rico & can anyone look at my tree’s bark 🪵 leaves 🍃 and fruit🍈 then identify this Wonderful Fig Tree?
I’ll pay pretty big moolah 💰 to find out. 🧐
Do cutting become full size trees?
Yes! Cuttings are a genetic clone of the parent plant and have all the same genetic characteristics.
Very cool! My son and I enjoy your channel! We are going to be doing some propagation of our own.

Hi
Hello Emad.
If you can figure out how to root persimmon cuttings, you would be doing the world a favor!
Haha, I'll work on it. First, I need some material to work with.
The first person I saw on U'tube that had any success rooting a persimmon cutting looks like he took cuttings after the new growth for the year became somewhat mature. and he left a heel of the old wood on the bottom of the cutting. He then removed all the leaves but the top one which he removed abou three fourths of the leaf. Only one cutting out of several he was trying had rooted when he did his follow up video. I think it would be worth trying heel cuttings or mallet cuttings. Just a thought when you add persimmons to your propagating successes! Love your videos!
🙂
If you use some bti in your water. That will stop fungus gnats from breeding.
What’s bti?
I use mosquito bits. They’re fairly effective but it’s always a battle.
Lavender?
Haven't tried hardwood lavender cuttings but that's a great idea to explore.
👍👍👍👌♥️♥️♥️💋
