Started a nursery here in northern Az last year 2020. This information is golden, thank you so much. Softwood cuttings are very difficult here because of our very low humidity so hardwood is the way to go. We will be building a propagation bed in the back this fall and filling it up!

Thank you Mike! For two years I have been trying to save some 100 year old pear trees at my brother's farm. I had almost lost hope. I live so far away and the one promising technique I tried, I missed the window for getting retrieving them. I will share that technique here for your perusal. I found it in a rose book from the 1950's. This lady would take a branch, score it vertically near a node, put the root hormone on there, although, since this technique was used in ancient China, it would probably work without the hormone as well. Then, slightly damp moss was layered around the scored branch, and then a plastic wrap which was impregnated with anti-fungal spray (back then, there was a wrap sold over the shelf but the product is defunct). The plastic wrap was then anchored around the branch, protecting the moss, etcetera, from the elements. All of this was done while the branch is still attached to the rose. In a few weeks, you would see roots forming through the moss, and that's when you'd cut the branch off and plant it in the ground. I got results, but like I said, I never made it back in time to retrieve it from the farm due to a bunch of drama with my sister-in-law and also my own health. I will continue to try tho. I think I am getting closer. I will do your technique this year, as it only requires one trip to the farm to retrieve the branches.

Hi Mike, Not sure if you'll even see this as it's such an old video, but first I have to say... I just love you for taking the time to share all your knowledge with us! I'm doing some Sand Cherry hardwood cuttings right now (Oct. 2020), and this video was perfect for me. Thank you so much! One question... Can you grow Japanese Maples from hardwood cuttings in the same manner? I'm planning to collect the seeds from my Japanese Maple as well, and try to grow them from seeds, but I was wondering if they also grow from hardwood cuttings? If anyone else who's reading this knows, I'd be so grateful for an answer. Thanks again Mike. All the Best to you and your family!

@@user-bw8df9fb4o Hi D, I never gave it a try, but I know of another channel that has done Japanese Maples from seed, from stem cuttings (over the summer), and from potting up the little seedlings that pop up in spring under, and around a Jap Maple. He has already committed to doing hardwood cuttings this winter (2022) to get everyone familiar with the process He must have hundreds of Japanese Maples at this point! The channel's name is "Jonny Maple', and there isn't much he doesn't know about Japanese Maples!. Just as a side note, I think Mike's ideas for starting hardwood cuttings are also excellent.

Elderberry is what I would propagate , I thought when the Amish moved in I could get some elderberry products, jams, juice, etc. but they don't use the bush. So I'll have to order a bush and take cutting from that. We use to have a big spread of elderberries, the jam is to die for and the juice is so healthy for a person. Been 50 years since I've had a taste of elderberry.
