    Looking good! There is a role thorned blackberries can play, though... next to a fence you can train them on, that you want critters of various species to think twice before trying to climb over. These days, that can fit into other ideas you have for your place... and you get fruit, too. :)

    The bevel cut does help because it exposes more of the phloem and xylem to carry moisture and nutrients into the cutting to keep it from drying out. It works the same way on cut flowers. They will last longer if you cut a 45 degree angle at the base of the stem.

    Wasnt sure if you could do it this way or not. My blackberries are like my raspberry plants and just grow everywhere. I have to dig the roots up to stop them from going farther. Usually give a 5 gallon bucket away to 3 people that want the new ones or chuck them in my stream. Glad to find your video bc im gonna try this with a few of my cuttings soon before spring. So much more attention to detail to keep alive but more rewarding to me if i can succeed

      Some things propagate easily. Blackberries are one of them, so may not need hormone.
      But, if it helps the % of success... it's a pretty cheap way to guarantee better results

  • @ryanelliott6764
    @ryanelliott6764 2 роки тому +3

    Couple of questions:
    1) typically you’ve taken clippings from new growth tips. Are these more mature clippings than what you usually propagate?
    2) Do you think you could do this style in a colder zone (7) or would you have to bring them inside?
    3) Like some of yours, some of mine, even my Prime Ark Freedoms, have lost their leaves. Do you think it is too late to propagate like this after they have lost their leaves?

    • @BIGALTX
      @BIGALTX  2 роки тому +2

      I think now is the time even in Zone 7.
      I don't think you would have to bring them inside... I think they would dry out if brought in
      I take cuttings where I want to prune... sometimes it's the terminal end... sometimes (if i let them grow too long) it's a much longer cane that I have to cut into pieces... like I did here.

    Hello. While this is my 1st time trying blackberries, another old fashioned way is to use spit and cinnamon as a rooting hormone. up to this point I have had a pretty high success rate of getting plants and shrubs to root. From what I have gathered is that spit is just an old wives tale but cinnamon is a rooting hormone? Either way spit makes the cinnamon stick to the cutting. I am not willing to say it works better then rooting hormone? But it definitely will work in a pinch. Thought that might help someone somewhere who doesnt have rooting hormone on hand.
