Roger that will do👍

Great idea. The best approach is to always try. I’m hopeful for you, and look forward to how things work out for you. I never did this, so I’ll be anticipating the results. 😊

[Sojourner]

Thanks, I’ll post the results in a few months. 👌

I have been rooting mulberry cuttings for a few years. I have put them in my aquaponic tower setup and walk away they root awesome. After they have been in that system for 6 months I then move them to soil in grow bags. They really adore that.

That’s fantastic! I love mulberries and have been pondering how to clone the ones I have.

That’s so cool! Now you have lots of Mulberry trees to share!

Currently I’m trying to root grape cuttings. I had them in water for a while and they developed leaves but no roots. I put them in dirt last week which didn’t seem to hurt the leaves, we will see how that does for roots.I think roots are better done in the dark, under dirt maybe.

I have had terrible time rooting grapes. The best way I have found is to bend a runner over in bury part of the plant into the ground. This works well because it has the support of the mother plant.

I know if I put the stem of my grape vine in the ground it will root. They root like blackberry canes so if the cane touches the ground poof, there are roots. Like magic, no problem.

Can’t wait to hear how this works out!

I tried before, but this never seems to work for me. Just today, I cleaned up my crafted apple which had several trees come out of the root which I re-planted into pots and when they take, I’ll just craft branches from my tree unto it. Fingers crossed.

We pruned our pear and apple trees and I couldn’t bear to throw the cuttings away so into water they went. My greenhouse now looks like a forest because they are leafing out. No roots yet but I’m hopeful.

[Sojourner]

Way to go! Soon you will hopefully have lots of little fruit trees!

I have rooted multiple fruit trees, but I also use another method to propagate more fruit trees. In eastern NC flowering pear trees are very invasive. The flowering pear root stock is a survivor, it can take drought and floods and is disease and pest resistant and it can outcompete other trees, so it makes a strong root stock for fruit trees. I have dug up several of these trees and then grafted pear and apple trees on to them. I also took some plum and cherry seedlings from my grandparents homestead that has been abandoned for over 30 years. I let a couple grow for fruit, and grafted a couple more with other varieties.

My husband successfully rooted pomegranate cuttings. Good Luck!

Congratulations! Thanks…

I grow Concord grapes and have started many for myself and friends. When I prune in February, I save some prunings and cut into 8 inch pieces, each with 2 or 3 nodes. Then I will stick about 6 cuttings into a 1/2 gallon pot filled with potting mix and sand. I set it in the shade where it gets bright light but never gets sun-shine on it. Water weekly and at least 50% will make leaves, then roots. Mid-Missouri Z6A

Thanks for sharing how you root your grape cuttings.👍

[Hippiemimi]

I have tried fig cuttings. It has worked great for me. Just clip and stick into good soil. Most of them seem to root well. Just make sure to keep moist
