I think it's important to emphasize for hard to root c cuttings, like hardwood and conifers, but true in general with almost all cuttings, is that you will get no where near 100% success. The hard ones, it may be a small fraction that actually root and grow. The key is that the cuttings are easy to make, so do very many. If you can strike 100 cuttings, like off a Xmas tree, you may get 10 or 20 trees. But if you only do 5 cuttings, you may not see any success and get discouraged. If you get lucky and/or have super technique and starting material, you might have better success. Make lots of cuttings, and expect most to not make it.

Very true. I have about 50% success rate.

Conifer‘s are very difficult to root😳 but if you do it the correct way you can root them all!!! It is all about the technique the timing??the size of the plant???the temperature outside the temperature in the pond or stream???? After I learn this method with a stream I’ve had at least 90% success rate

Can you please upload a new video once these root? I have been told that conifers are impossible to self-root.

Went to high school for white pine needles for pine needle tea and contractors are there cutting them down as well as hemlock and Douglas fir and some other pine with much longer needles than the white pine (maybe it's a bigger white pine) I have no clue what I'm doing. If I should trim the needles off or what and really have no clue where to put them and end of december is probably the worst time to be trying to propigage anything but I guess i got nothing to lose but my hopes. 😬 Here goes!

You can speed it up by sealing the cut with epoxy. The success rate isn't that great on these, fyi it takes a very long time for them to root. Months. But the ones that do make it worth it, definitely.

if you in the US it could be Pinus strobus. there are 2 5 needle pines with very long needles I know: Pinus strobus-(also called eastern white pine, northern white pine, white pine, Weymouth pine) what would fit, because you seem located there. but because there is also Pinus parviflora it also can be Pinus wallichiana from Himalaya, Karakoram and Hindu Kush : ( here also called Teardrop pine) not so long leaves (needles)Pinus peuce , Macedonian pine or Balkan pine

Can you make a video of the results this is cool.

@yesterdayswine 9 ай бұрын

I could, but basically you'll get about a 40% success rate in the long term. They'll grow roots. Some will live from there and some won't. You really have to baby them as it take much longer than most hard wood cuttings.

Just trimmed my living tree today, mainly the Upper crown to stop it competing to be the top. Just dipped them in rooting compound and potted them all with compost and vermiculite mix, see how they do.

Hope it works for you. The secret is to keep the humidity up without having mold develop.

Sorry, forgot to reply. Had a look under the cling wrap, all still green, one is pushing up against the wrap too.

Planted a dozen, cling warpoed the pot and mixed up a compost and vermiculite mix, checked yesterday, got 3 to stay green, will update in the spring.

I put them out in the areas in the Laurel Highlands where they have done a lot of clear cutting in the forests. Along with ones from the Arbor Day Foundation. It definitely takes awhile for the roots to get established so you'll want to put them in an area the doesn't get too dry. Etc

How well would air layering work on a living tree that is still in the ground?

@yesterdayswine 10 ай бұрын

I would imagine with similar results, but much slower as the pine's sap is a natural sealing agent. I've never tried it, but I've seen it happen in nature in old mining areas.

Is it possible to graft hardwood cuttings to softwood rootstock?

@yesterdayswine 7 ай бұрын

It wouldn't have a huge success rate. You're better using a hardwood rootstock

@hosta127 6 ай бұрын

Would this process work also for Green Giant arborvitae

@yesterdayswine 6 ай бұрын

It should, due to that being a fast growing tree. The only issue I can see would be finding the needles a little larger you'll want to be mindful of where you take the cutting from.

I would imagine it would. The secret is to get the youngest limbs of course that are still hardwood. You'll find them closer to trunk.

The logic that buying a live tree is bad is completely backwards. Which would be better a Xmas tree factory using plastic and metal or a tree farm or spruce forest? I know which I would rather have.

For many trees like the pine trees that you get at Christmas time, this would be correct. For spruce, this is not the case. It is why you look for a younger limb that isn't as established but still has hardwood characteristics.
