Great idea to plant trees when young if you have the opportunity. It's something I would encourage. Most people don't think of doing this until 40 or over like myself though even after 20 years it's still satisfying. Good luck.

Hey Rick, I just wanted to reach out and say "thank" from down under (Melbourne, Australia). I tried two different techniques to get my cuttings going. I used your 'bottle' technique with half my cuttings and the more common 'dip in cutting formula and plant' technique. The cuttings I used your method with I had about 80-90% success rate. Much better than the other method. I really appreciate it. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Alex, During which month you tried to grow?

Wish every school taught every child even for other people about propagating. Like this is very interesting for a lot of people even for children. Wish I knew about this when I was young, could teach a lot of children about patience. :)

This is a great endeavor. Making fruit trees almost feels like Gods work. I took your tutorial along with some others and got successful the first attempt with a pomegranate tree. So far seven out of eight have rooted and grew leaves. You find a fruit tree you love and one small branch can give you a little orchard.

"you're gonna wanna push it down to right about there." I love this ♥

Great video. You should get yourself a pair of small PVC pipe cutters. They work really well cutting those tough fruit tree branches. Thanks

I love your sense of humor, -you said the dog is happy about it, in general thanks for all you have shared and thumbs up

I was looking for your video again, having watched it a few years ago. KZread algorithm read my mind because it popped up without a search! Very informative; I have some cuttings I'd love to have grow into fruitful trees.

I just wish I started to learn more about propagating at an earlier age in life. I hope to live long enough to see my trees grow and produce fruit. Its a great hobby for anyone to learn and very rewarding

Great demo on cloning fruit trees. I have read that taking a cutting from a mother tree or plant gives you the identical Genitics and year of the mother. This means that as you said, you should get fruit in about two years. Great job.

I am thrilled. Now it is time to plant them. Thank you for your video Rick. Darlene in Nova Scotia

Thanks for the tips. God bless you.

Thanks Rick! You are a very creative man! It's good for young people to get into this as it can take many years before getting fruit. But it's worth it, for the fun of it as well. We once grew an apricot tree from the pip. Just put it into the pot with soil, kept watering it and it started growing about 2 month later... we kept bringing the little tree with us whenever we moved house and after about 3 years it was about 3 ft tall with about 6 branches coming out. Weplanted it into the garden where we where then and about 3 years after that had APRICOTS, ha,ha.. it took a while but boy, where they sweet! If you buy a ready tree you might get fruit the next year so that is the reason they cost so much... but your way is awesome if you have some time... keep it up!

Thank you for sharing this video. This was the best by far. You got to the point and showed all progress. Thank a lot. Now to try this on some orange and grapefruit trees. Fingers crossed 🤞🏾

Hi, Rick! THANK YOU VERY MUCH for your video, it was GREAT!!! We have a pear tree that is thought to be 80-100 years old, and when it does produce fruit, they are the best pears that you can imagine. I have about a dozen sticks prepared like your video showed, in a cranberry jug with fresh rain water and placed in a Southern double-paned window of my home (we're in mid-Eastern KY). I hope they'll be showing promise in a month or so, then after I transplant the promising ones into their own pots, hopefully they'll grow well enough for me to plant outside in the Spring. THANK YOU AGAIN... take care and have a safe and healthy autumn and winter! :)

Perhaps it is just another way of doing it? I tested some various propagating techniques on a specific plant, and got 100% success rate on the cuttings. All variations created a good root system, and they’re planted and growing in their permanent homes. Others had varied results, which is why we all experiment. If his way works for him, it works. It isn’t deception. Many factors may play into results others will have-various types of planting medium or lack of any, and when to use it; using rooting hormone or not; whether or not to scuff or “wound” the area you wish to root, and if so, how much; location, both zone and sun exposure; soil type; diseases, and insect or animal destruction, or the lack of thereof; balanced watering; when to move or re-pot them and whether or not to just plant them where they’ll end up living; and all the other many things that make or break the success of plant propagation.

So I just cut off the rot and planted the part with the little bumps, thinking "either it's mold or some kind of baby roots." I still use that plant to cook with, so it definitely worked. This method rings true. I just put some apple and pear limbs into some bottles today. My neighbor has this extremely productive pear tree and I figure why not start an orchard?

Hi, and thank you for posting. I lived on family land, well I still do. In the 70’s there was a tree apple in shape but green and tasted like a pear . It’s long gone replaced by a gravel pit. sure wish I could get a clipping from it now.

Really liked your video. Just observation here. I just spent some time on Amazon looking at fruit trees earlier this afternoon. And you giving them away like that you're really turning your back on a gold mine. They wanted to charge me $183 for one particular fruit tree that was about 2 to 3 feet tall. You might could make some money doing it. Peaches were particularly expensive as were plums. The worst was something called a Chinese date or jujube. You being so good at getting cuttings to grow like that and turning them into treelings like that you could easily get yourself a little bit of side money by putting them up for sale on Amazon. Just a thought. Thank you for the video it was very informative.

I do find it most rewarding searching for ways to propagate plants by cuttings. I have done it myself with reasonable success. What I find most incredible is the so many varied ways to achieve the same result, ie. to get a new plant. This just goes to show human creativity and ingenuity. This video shows yet another credible way. I like this method for its simplicity. Thank you for sharing.
