Quick Rootstock Tips | An EASY way to obtain FREE ROOTSTOCKS

Most fruit tree varieties are GRAFTED to a ROOTSTOCK instead of being planted directly in the soil. Rootstocks can be difficult to obtain and expensive, so it’s only natural that you we try to propagate our own. In this quick tip video you will learn how to produce your own rootstocks.

Propagate rootstocks with this easy method. When you cut an established grafted tree and leave the stump, in just a few months, you will have several new rootstocks that you can use to graft your fruit varieties. 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. Table of contents: 0:00 - Intro 1. Why do we need rootstocks? - 0:10 2.

For me it is not the cost of root stock but difficulty in finding a source for small numbers of new root stock cultivars. M40 plum, or Krymsk 86 peach and several pear root stocks only seem available for commercial purchase of more than 500 pieces. (And this year even the old cultivars were out of stock. Good thing I had a few hold over from last year.)

Just a confirmation to you that your channel and content is one of the most valuable and knowledgeable places I have found. I joined a couple of years ago to learn one grafting technique and have been fascinated ever since. It's so hard to find good info on grafting from a professional and I am forever grateful for the knowledge you are passing on. I always wondered how rootstock is created! Now watching this video I can create new rootstock from cheap grafted fruit trees as and when I need them. Keep up the fantastic content and knowledge. Andy from a very cold and wet UK.

[@JSacadura]

Hi, Andy. Weather is also very cold and wet over here. Quite hard to video document anything this time of year. Regarding rootstock development... Most modern rootstock varieties are not this easy to propagate. The technique I show and the reliable mound-layering most of us use (slow and effective) to produce most rootstocks, might fail with some modern hybrid rootstocks types (these are micro propagated in controlled laboratorial conditions, we simply don't have). That's why they are so difficult to obtain and quite expensive. But we can always try.😉

[@mycozygardencottage]

Thank you so much for your clear explanations! I’ve learned so much from them and you’ve given me the courage to graft a peach tree that almost died. The rootstock grew back into an amazingly large tree for it’s age with tons of fruit but the fruits were not good. Now You’ve also taught me how to start more rootstocks. The information you’re sharing is a real blessing. 🙂🌷

[@helentc]

@mycozygardencottage Out of curiosity, did you graft the desired Peach Tree on to the surviving root stock? These rootstocks are used to graft desired varieties on to them. You wouldn't normally just let the rootstock grow into a full grown tree by itself. You may already know that, but just thought I'd pass that on just in case.

[@mycozygardencottage]

@@helentc yes, I know. The original tree had died ...or I guess the original graft died?...then the root stock grew up really fast into a tree. I knew it would probably not be good but we just waited to see what would happen. we ended up cutting it down to about 3 feet tall and I thought it might still be good to graft onto. My first try failed I think because I unwrapped it too soon. I might try again. Thank you for your reply anyway. :)

[@mycozygardencottage]

@@helentc ...yes, at first I let the tree grow, because I wasn't sure what to do with it and not being 100% sure that it was the rootstock that was growing and if the graft had died. Later, I cut the monsterous tree down and took a scion from my other peach tree and tried to graft it to the rootstock stump. I'm going to try again this year. 🙂

Excellent. Looking forward to the next video with the techniques. I have a James Grieve apple tree on a dwarfing rootstock (don't remember if the label specified which) and it has a sucker coming out already which is why I was interested in the method to root that sucker. This is on a live healthy tree which is why I'm apprehensive about going in a cutting the root sucker below the soil as shown in this video on a donor rootstock. Looks like the technique partially shown towards the end with rooting a sucker cut above ground is what I require.

[@JSacadura]

Just air layer the sucker to obtain a new rootstock without affecting the main tree. Check my videos on the subject in the channel, like this old one (still no voice over, but quite clear about the technique) - kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z4DZh51-eJd9jJI

[@anup_2705]

Sir please make video on making of clonal rootstocks- stooling or mound layering!

[@goodmusic3679]

Another great video, thank you. Would be interested in knowing your technique for rooting cuttings taken from rootstock suckers of apple trees. I have some trees on M9/B9 rootstocks that sent up plenty of suckers this year, which I will prune off this winter. I'd rather not try to dig them up and disturb the roots of the parent tree (they have been transplanted several times and are just getting established). But I've heard it is challenging to root apple cuttings using the usual hardwood cutting technique. I'm sure you have some great tips and techniques. Thanks again.

[@JSacadura]

Without the help of rooting hormones and bottom heat, rooting most apple rootstock hardwood suckers can be challenging (I might do a video on the subject if I have the time). Most nurseries do it in large scale, so even if the rooting percentage is not that good, it is still a viable choice when you have thousands of cuttings to root. For the home grower, its easier to use the mound-layering method, rooting the young shoots that come from the mother plant, much like the example I showed in this video (a very slow but effective method). If you don't want to try the cutting approach, you can try layering one or two of those suckers in place (using the same approach as in the air layering method I describe in one of my last videos) and you might succeed in developing enough roots to separate it from the tree in just a few months. Just don't do it for more than 1 or 2 suckers or they will use too many resources, essential for the main tree.

[@Infiniti25]

What marker pen do you label your cuttings, trees and pots with? Looks like a type of Tipex brand pen, the type used to cover over a mistake that you can then write over the top of. EDIT: I presume it’s a type of painting pen having quickly searched. I see they are waterproof but are they UV proof?

[@dorothyandrews8872]

Do you have a video where I could graft a pine tree or similar. What do I use for the root stock.

[@JSacadura]

The rootstock is a pine tree grown from seed. Seedling pine trees are usually grafted when they are young (3-5 years old). Cleft or Whip and tongue grafting technique is often used, using a scion from an adult producing tree (20+ years old). The grafted tree will start producing much earlier (7-10 years old) instead of 15-20 years old for the seedling non-grafted tree.

[@JSacadura]

Hi, Jared. Its always nice to have a good source of rootstocks for our Prunus. Fortunately, they seem to be widely compatible between them, with a few exceptions, so our job of finding reliable roostocks is easier. I converted unproductive Almond trees to excellent, white flesh, flat peaches and there was no delayed incompatibility.

[@Myway953]

I would recommend a wild crab tree for root stock apples and pears . What root stock would you recommend for fig trees If another Fig ,,,,,,,, what variety of fig would it be for south east England .

[@JSacadura]

Wild crab trees can provide good rootstock for apple and pears in the home orchard. They are quite resistant to weather and diseases. The resulting tree might be a bit taller and can take a while to start producing though. I usually use them to "store" newly arrived varieties when I don't have regular rootstocks to graft. But a selected rootstock can provide quicker and better production, so they are preferred by the commercial grower. Regarding figs, I tend to graft new varieties to existent ones that I have available. You can always select a robust and fast growing fig variety to graft slower growing ones (that might help them grow faster, but not by much). As far as selecting a cold resistant variety as a rootstock... Being in zone 9a I have no experience in that subject. For instance, Celeste or Hardy Chicago are known for being cold resistant varieties. But, if the winter is too cold, the graft will probably die and only the rootstock will survive so, I have my doubts it would help much.

[@TIERRAYLOMBRICES]

I notice my plum tree it's throwing new trees far away from the tree, exactly where the drip irrigation is.

[@JSacadura]

Some plum rootstocks, particularly those that are produced from seed, are very vigorous and their root system is somewhat invasive. its not unusual that they produce suckers far away from the main tree.

[@pauljohn3230]

I've noticed the same thing on a vigourous plum tree, some of the suckers are 4-5 M away... I grafted on to a few of them last year, still in the ground attached to the mother tree. 14 months later and they're all growing on strong and looking like independent trees. Seems like a cool way to establish a grove of different varieties, all connected to the one root system.

[@TIERRAYLOMBRICES]

@@pauljohn3230 You gave me a good idea thank you.

[@ankitverma5948]

[@samishetwi9078]

May I ask why you didn't use a fungicide to treat the cuts ?

Rootstocks are usually more resistant to diseases. Also, these are young plants and so, the cuts heal quickly, and there is no need to use a pruning paste.

What variety of apple would an M25 rootstock produce if left to grow and fruit?

[@bpj1805]

It would produce M25 apples! They won't equal any apple variety that's commercially current, because it's selected for its root system properties, not for its fruit, although it might resemble some fruit cultivars in some ways. (But IMHO is most likely to be some unpalatable trash - like apples apparently default to.)

[@kennythomas1500]

What are the best season/time to do grafting?

[@JSacadura]

It really depends on several factors, like the type of fruit tree, the grafting material available (type of scions) and the climate zone where you live. In my area (9a) the best time to graft is when the trees start to leave dormancy and start growing actively (Spring).

[@bpj1805]

If you can make that work you deserve the botanical equivalent of a Nobel prize. While intergeneric grafts are not unheard of (like pear on quince), cherry on apple seems a lot more "distant". Although I've seen claims that pear on loquat works, so don't let me stop you from trying. Successful cherry on apple rootstock grafts would have tremendous economic importance.

[@JSacadura]

If the seeds are viable they might start growing in the spring. But they will probably only be useful as a rootstock to graft a good eating variety (most stone fruit trees developed from seed are not true to type and the variety is not that good to eat, so they are grafted).
