Yes. That’s all I use.

I cut the tops off of two liter soda bottles and put 4 or 5 holes in the bottoms and use them as tree tubes for my cuttings.I leave my cuttings in a tub and water from the bottom up after the first week. The tub also helps the cutting from blowing over in the wind. I save the seeds from the fruit I eat and after letting the seeds sit in the refrigerator for about three month I plant them in the soda bottles. You can see thru the clear bottles to get a good look at the roots. I do apples, cherries, pear and peaches from seeds and blueberry and elder berry from cuttings.

This is exactly the time to do this sort of thing. For us, they will probably graduate from this pot into the ground by next spring.

PPF: I'll cut the sticks so the bottom has an angle and the top is flat across. Then you can push the stick right in and ensures if a stick is dropped it always gets planted right side up. The same technique works for any grape vines you have (cut growth that was new the prior year for best results and one to two buds below ground and one above).

Blueberries are good to propagate too. I've got 3 bushes that produce a LOT of blueberries each year. They are getting side sprouts about a foot out from the mother plant. I'm ready to try to do some propagation on the mother plant as well as separating the side shoots. BTW, you can do this with ornamentals like Green Arborvitae. I have propagated about 10 of those and shared some with my neighbors. Those things are EXPENSIVE now to buy from the box stores. You can't eat them but they are good for creating hedge and just making your home look nice. Also mix in some blueberry bushes into your home landscape and the fall foliage is striking next to these Green Arborvitae. For people who think they don't have room to grow food, never over look the most obvious area around the perimeter of your home.

How long does it take for you to get hazelnuts? I got fig starts from someplace pretty cheap! They were like five inches high and thinner than a pencil. They grew to over three feet in the first year! We have finally been able to eat figs this year! We are thrilled! Great advice in this video!

The woody ones are actually better and you arent supposed to take fig or hazelnut cuttings right now, they need to be lignified and in winter dormancy and they need to be kept in the shade at all times till they fill out their pots than put em in ground in spring when they start leafing out , youll get 99.99% success rate with figs that way!

If I were near you I would give you some I have propagated. I do know that lazy dog farm on KZread has lots of fig varieties and they are cheaper than $70 and he ships and you would be supporting an individual instead of corp if you bought from him.

I’ve been giving this a try with some local wild red mulberry, sassafras, black locust & mimosa cuttings. I only have big enough totes for 8 cuttings to fit into, so I’m taking more cuttings to experiment with. I’m putting some into pots and some right into the ground, but without domes to hold in humidity. Instead, I have dabbed some honey onto all of the wounds where the leaves had been attached before removal. I’m hoping that will help seal in moisture as they look to be the main source of water loss to the scions. Going to get another batch of scions this week and try the same but using gently heated pine sap/resin instead of the honey. It’s a bit more labor intensive as a trade off, but if it works, that can eliminate the need for totes if that is the limiting factor restraining others for whatever reasons. Worst case, I have some dead sticks in the ground come spring. Though for my best case, I have a bunch of trees I can’t use for myself, but hopefully some neighborhood people will be glad to take some free trees lol. The experience will be my value gained until I can get some property for my own.

Wonderful! I've got my containers of tree tubes, filled with your suggestion for growing medium, used the rooting solution, and have them in a plastic container with top as you've described. Should moisture there be forming on the inside of the top from a tight seal? Should I have duct taped it closed for that to happen or is it ok to allow air gaps?

When they have roots, how long do you want to transfer them from tree tubes to pots and then how long before they are mature enough to place into the ground. I'm new to all this and although you may have mentioned this before would you mind terribly answering again? Thank you.

I am thoroughly enjoying your videos and your family! We have fig trees on our property here in Croatia, and I'm considering doing this to sell to tourists next year!

Many plants will readily root from cuttings and others will not so much. From what I understand propagation from cuttings is how figs are done. I have done propagation for mulberries, but not all mulberries so propagate. Red mulberries and some of their hybrids will not. But for those red mulberries (American mulberry) take a variety that you know the cuttings will propagate and graft the scion of the red mulberry that will not onto the cutting that will root. Apples and pears are normally propagated by grafting on rootstock. You can grow your pear and apple rootstock from seeds or use stooling beds on rootstock. For eating pears and apples, rootstock is grafted. If you want cider apples you do what johnny appleseed did and plant apple seeds. Occasionally you will get a good fresh eating apple, but mostly only get what is fit for cider. Much stone and citrus fruit, but not all, will often be true to seed. But I will have to find out if peach cuttings will propagate. Dunstan and chinese chestnuts are a good crop or least they are for me in northwest Florida and propagate from seeds. They have essential fats, but maybe not as much as hazel nuts. Peanuts might be another crop for oils Since pests often eat fruit and berries you can supplement your animal protein if you shoot some of the raccoons, squirrels, and possums and if the warden is not looking some of the deer. That great Pyrenees likely will go after rabbits also. In southern europe people do eat birds. Remember the song 4 and 20 black birds baked in pie. But then black birds were never protected as migratory species in merry olde england.

Twisted Tree Farm sells hazel nut seedlings.

When doing cuttings I'm compared to mortisha in "Adams Family" cutting flower hards off

Prune it...haha

I worked on a fig farm for two years , I’ve tried nearly every variety there is , what a load of rubbish , figs are the most boring blan fruit god ever put on this great green earth .
