Just a suggestion but I find that making a few cuts down the length of the trunk one inch from the bottom gives me better results. 3 or 4 verticals slices with a razor will do, not too deep. Just enough to go into the cambium layer.

If you have any aloe Vera just shove the sticks down through a leaf as a rooting hormone and anti fungal. Good tips and tricks👍

Thank you sharing propagation techniques, please show us how to do air-layering with fruit trees. I tired in Melbourne but doesn't work. Please teach us. 🙏🙏🙏
@RealLifeFruitopia4 жыл бұрын
For my needs, air layering isn't required as I find cuttings are quicker and easier. If I was a business then I could air layer larger branches for higher returns. Some day I might try it just for fun.

I'll be very interesting to see how these go, I only took a guava cutting once and needless to say it didnt root. It appeals to me that you've taken them very 'casually', you don't seem to have trimmed them at the base exactly below a leaf node and you haven't removed any bark at the base of the cuttings, this looks like the traditional way of taking cuttings....

When you have dozens of cuttings it doesn't matter if half fail. They were all destined for composting.

I tried air layeriing during mid july hoping by spring it could produce root but failed. But you have a lot to try and very nice cuttings
@RealLifeFruitopia4 жыл бұрын
In our temperate climate, air layering is best done after the end of winter. I do cuttings for fun and for getting plants out to the community.
