EASY CLONING OF CITRUS TREES | Air Layering Method for Citrus Trees

[@JSacadura]

Duplicate your citrus trees with this easy air layering method. Be patient as most citrus trees can take 6-8 months to develop roots. If you like the video or have any questions, leave a comment and I will try to answer as many as I can. Thanks for watching.

Hola Maestro ! Gracias por tus videos y por todo lo que nos enseñas ! ¿Con este método, puedo clonar un mini kiwi o un arándano y en que temporada ? Gracias

[@MiViejoDIM]

Hello, you need to water the soil, otherwise it will fail. Proof of it is that you added water and the roots grew..

[@DAVIDCSENN]

I live on my farm in Texas and I am trying the cloning technique on an old mulberry tree that I played under a a child. It only has one little sticker branch still living. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@nickbenn51]

Good luck mate 👍

[@josephparry1357]

You have done good work. I am going to move from our family home where i have growing 3 different types of orange, one mandarin, one lemonade tree. I am going to try and copy your methods. as a 73 year old gardener i have enjoyed my trees for over 20 years and wish to continue, they have great taste, good health to you and thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@FinnBearOfficial]

I will try this on my haskap berries this spring. I'll also try to bend some of the branches on top of the mulch and place a stone on top. They seemed very eager to spread. Lovely berry, haskap. It'll be all the rage soon. Great content Sir! Much appreciated.

Hello! I love your videos, I learned a lot thanks to you! That year I grafted cherries, apples, pears, plums, peaches, apricots, and most of them started, so this year I was even able to try plums) I want to have more pears in my garden, but I don't have a pear rootstock. Can you tell me if the rootstock of an apple tree is suitable for grafting pears on it? Thank you for your efforts!)

Excuse me Mr., much respect to the Awesome work You do. I have a question, would an air Layering procedure on a Lemon tree be done successfully during November in a Mediterranean type climate?

Interesant! Pentru altoire smochin, care este perioada ideala si, daca se poate, ce conditii sunt necesare? Multumesc mult!

[@JSacadura]

The best time to graft fig trees is the spring when the trees start to move sap with dormant scions. Check my many videos on grafting figs, like this one - kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHO5aoJ_m7afl7s ________ Auto-translated Cel mai bun moment pentru altoirea smochinilor este primăvara, când copacii încep să miște seva cu puii latenți.

[@marcfruchtman9473]

Thanks for a great video! Does this method of growing roots work on larger main branches as well?

[@JSacadura]

The larger the branch the older it is and more difficult will be for it to develop roots. This happens because the undifferentiated cells that turn into roots are less and less, in proportion to the older tissues, as the branch gets older. However, with the right conditions, its possible in some fruit types - I have done it in 4-5 years old, larger diameter branches, but it takes much longer and requires the use of rooting hormones. Nevertheless, its best to use younger branches, 1-2 years old, whenever possible.

[@marginatux]

@@JSacadura what other characteristics should the chosen branch have? thanks

[@marcfruchtman9473]

@@JSacaduraThank you...

[@JSacadura]

Not many. Any young branch of the right diameter will do. Avoid branches that are too thin, unless you support them during the air layer, or they might break with the wind (the air layer is a weak point). Its also best to choose a well positioned branch, easy to air layer and that doesn't affect the mother tree's shape when removed. One of the options is air layering a watersprout since these are young, vigorous, vertical growing branches that are usually removed anyway, so they don't compete with the fruit bearing branches.

How well do citrus grow on their own roots instead of a grafted rootstock? Im curious because all of mine are grafted. Im new to growing citrus.

[@JSacadura]

It really depends on the varieties and the zone. In my area, Lemon trees, particularly the older varieties, are often grown in their own roots. The trees take more time to grow and start producing but they live longer. The older growers often say that some citrus taste better when grown on their own roots, without the rootstock interference. The trees also tend to be healthier and bigger (there is always some degree of incompatibility when grafting a variety to a rootstock). However, a grafted tree will be more manageable (less pruning required to maintain it a certain size). In colder areas it's often a good idea to graft them in rootstocks that are a bit more resistant to cold, etc. There are advantages and disadvantages in both approaches. Commercially, grafted trees are the way to go. To the enthusiast, some varieties grown on their own roots can be interesting. Thanks for the comment.

[@infinitibottle]

@@JSacadura Thank you very much for the detailed explanation!!!

[@poughkeepsieblue]

It definitely depends on the zone. Rootstocks survive in certain cold better than others. And if the root doesnt survive, the tree wont, but grafts with hardy rootstock tend to survive a zone colder than their native roots do. If your air layered trees arent surviving beside the mother plant, then the mother is grafted to hardy woodstock, and you shouldnt air layer, but rather graft to hardy woodstock for your zone.

[@miguelangelalonsomartin2411]

Bien explicado, como siempre

[@lisar9314]

Thanks for sharing good video I just didn't really understand the last one, why did you wrap the branch first with just aluminum foil like a year prior before adding the dirt and stuff. I was thinking for humidity causing pre growth buds maybe or Maybe I just missed something or misunderstood but anyways overall 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻up! Again thanks for sharing your knowledge and God Bless u and your family!

[@doogliebop]

How often do you have to water your substrate?

[@JSacadura]

In most cases you don't need to water the air layering medium. The plastic film maintains all the moisture that is needed to start the root development. If you are air layering in the summer or the air layers are more than 3 months old you can open the container and water lightly. It should only be required once, as I did in the lemon tree example. In the fig example no watering was needed.

[@Jules-740]

Can we do this in any season or is there a season this is the most effective in? Also, I have a tree that I think is on it's way out and looks like it is dying, can I try to clone it before it dies?

[@poughkeepsieblue]

I like watching you use a Swiss Army knife to do your work. I wonder though, how often do you sharpen it? It must be a weekly practice.

[@JSacadura]

Not at all. It keeps sharp enough on regular use. Last sharpening was a couple of months ago. It only needs more frequent sharpening if you are doing many grafts a day (usually during spring).

[@poughkeepsieblue]

Lol, youre right... soft branches are not enough to dull good steel too fast. I always like seeing the tools that good craftsmen use in their work. And youre an amazing craftsman, who knows what tools work best, and you skillfully use them well. Youre doing a good service providing us your skill and knowledge. Good show my brother.

[@julitaantone5751]

Is it good to use egg shells and coffee grounds for draining purposes when planting air layered citrus and breadfruit branches? Thanks

[@hindatout5265]

Can ai yose composot only

[@JSacadura]

Roots may not develop well if you use only compost, even if it's fully cured. It's usually better to use a light soil mix.

[@hbtraveller4709]

Good

[@JSacadura]

Glad you liked it. Thanks for the comment.

[@TheXanthipp]

Do you think using a rooting hormone would make roots form faster or more reliably?

[@davidbellis2812]

Jsacadura do you know how to air layer a mango tree?

[@candisfirchau3810]

What abput roses? Apple trees?

[@JSacadura]

You can propagate roses using the same technique. You can also do it with apples but I prefer to graft a good eating variety to a robust rootstock (you can buy one or grow one from seeds), as this tree will grow much better (the good eating varieties don't grow very well on their own roots).

[@stephenransleben2318]

Will air layering be as successful with bushes, such as blueberry?

[@JSacadura]

Yes, it will. The technique is the same and the time for root development will be 3 -4 months in most cases.

[@ruibatista4073]

Olá. Excelentes vídeos! Estou interessado em obter diferentes variedades de figueiras e já vi que costuma multiplicá-las por estaquia. Onde vende? No OLX?@@JSacadura

[@charliemagoo7943]

No rooting hormones?

[@JSacadura]

I haven't used any rooting hormones. You can use them if you want, as they will accelerate the root development.

No Problem. The technique is the same.

[@santiagodibiasi3703]

Hace tres años realice un acodo aéreo a limonero. Hace un año lo pasé a tierra. Este invierno parecia muerto sin hojas y la corteza comenzó a abrise secandose. En la primavera comenzó a brotar. Puede morir?? Es alguna enfermedad. Como prevención le reliace un vendaje a las partes de corteza reseca y abiertas. Ahora se está poblando de nuevas hojas

[@JSacadura]

Si, puede ser una enfermedad (como la gomosis que es provocada por hongos). En algunas zonas es mejor injertar los cítricos en un porta injerto más resistente en vez de plantarlos en sus proprias raízes ya que las enfermedades son más frequentes. Puedes pesquisar por enfermedades provocadas por hongos e intentar un fungicida, se es el caso.

[@garcez9472]

Olá amigo! Podes me informar qual a melhor estação para fazer esta técnica? Ah, e também, se falhar, o galho morre? Obrigado desde já, Deus esteja contigo.

[@JSacadura]

Neste exemplo comecei a alporquia no final do inverno para que as raízes se pudessem desenvolver durante a primavera e o verão. O ideal é escolher um período em que a planta tenha boas condições de crescimento e evitar períodos desfavoráveis em que as plantas reduzem esse crescimento (outono, inverno, no meu caso). Se a alporquia falhar porque o ramo conseguiu regenerar a zona removida, tudo volta ao normal e o ramo sobrevive. Se não ocorrer desenvolvimento de raízes e a zona de casca removida continuar a impedir a comunicação da seiva açucarada, o ramo geralmente morre.
