How to propagate evergreen trees from limb unions and cuttings.

[chuckgoecke]

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.

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!

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.

Howany years would it take for any one those to be as big as the Christmas tree u bought?

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

Wait, honey, instead if strength 2 rooting hormone?

[SabiyaPosh]

In which month did you take the cuttings

[lesliepark]

Is it possible to graft hardwood cuttings to softwood rootstock?

[MrSwicky]

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.

Would this process work also for Green Giant arborvitae

[howtogrowdragonfruitplant]

Cool! Does this work for giant sequoias ?

What time of the year is the best time to cut the branches?

I don't think anyone should have guilt of cutting Christmas trees whether they propagate them or tree farms rotate their fields either way. They cut down overgrown trees and plant seedlings every single year.
