What about hydrangeas ? Lime light. I took some cuttings off of this women’s tree 🌳 bush. It looks like a tree bush. Anyways I did a video of her gorgeous hydrangeas limelight hydrangeas. Now I waited to long and I’m going to have to ask her if I can get some more ? Because I thought 💭 I was going to cut them but stupid poison ☠️ ivy came along. Now they are dead 💀. I need to do that. I’ll take her a gift for doing this and I’ll take her some day lilies roots from my yard.
🪴🪴🪴 THAT WAS VERY GOOD INFORMATION FOR A BEGINNER BLACKBERRY GARDNER LIKE ME!!!😃 THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR GOOD REGROWING METHODS!!!🪴 NOW I GOTTA GET ME SOME OF THOSE TRIPLE CROWNS!!!😃👍🏽🙋🏽🔥🙏🏽👑✝️📖🔥🕊️
I will never understand the critics. Don't like it? Don't watch! Me, I thank you very much, sir, for teaching me something valuable in your own unique style!
Strawberries are pretty much the same concept. Just have to push them down into the dirt until they take hold. Then snip from the mother plant. Strawberries reproduce like crazy.
Im trying to get strawberries to be the ground cover in my food forest under the fruit trees i have all kinds of berry bushes and strawberry grows under it all. I even have grapes growing up the trees and trellis to be the vine layer. If u doit right you can have all the layers of a forest in a small area which produces a good bit
We bought 2 strawplants one year for 15 bucks, paid way to much then turned those 2 into 12 plants next year had 36. Today we are potting up the newer runners and placing them in pots bc our earth bed is to full. Berries r the best
I ordered 6 blackberry bushes last year from an online site. Only 4 survived and only two are really thriving. I went back to the site where I ordered them and they no longer have the ones I ordered. What they do have is much more expensive. I never thought I could so easily propagate my own from what I already have established! Brilliant! Looks so easy! Thank you!
They are incredible easy to propagate. Ive had a 3ft cane break off and i just buried it just under the soil in total shade with only a few tiny leaves sticking out of the soil and then covered it in wood chips and watered heavily and it will just shoot roots out of the stem so you will have a few different places where roots will grow along the long cane so u can even cut those apart to get more plants.
Great video. You show the entire process, from burying the tip of the plant to the finished product. I’ve been very unsuccessful trying to root tip cuttings. I’ll be using this method, this afternoon. Many thanks!
Me too. Very unsuccessful. Then one grew close to the ground and it propagated itself. The plants want what they want. Now I just let them do it on thier own and when I feel there are plenty of roots I move them.
Great video, and I agree that is the way to go!!!! I had 10 blackberries plants and at the end of the first year, I put all of the runners in pots and the next spring I had 80 rooted plants. The first year vines are close to the ground and wide, so propagation is ideal. Triple Crown produces longer vines and this makes propagating much easier compared to the more upright blackberry versions.
We have an Amish nursery here in NW Ohio that sells very healthy thornless blackberry plants for $10.95 for a large pot. Just picked up 3 today. The prices at their nursery blows everyone out of the water.
Thank you... I've always advised the thorned variety to serve as perimeter security for double duty 😉😆 ... Demonstrating tip layering with such a successful plant might bring back the art and help propagate food forests everywhere... Much love ❤️❤️
Great info ! Thank you! I planted 2 blackberries last year , they have gone wild so far this year ! I will be out in the garden doing this method for sure ! Thanks again for your help 🪴
Hello, I'm in upstate NY by Lake Champlain. The property I bought was an abandoned forclosure. Lots of wild and neglected blackberries and raspberries I'm going to trim back and make a berry row in my garden. Thank you for the video!
Stumbled upon your channel and now consider myself very lucky. Your way of explaining things is so much easier than most of the other's I watch Thank you.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing. You can also do this same propagation method with Forsythia plants as well!! They take Very well to this easy method. Cheers!✌😊
I used this method directly into my row (no pots,) and it worked perfectly! Took about 3 weeks before the new shoot came up from the tip. I'm in Saratoga Springs Utah.
Yes your right they are that easy . I've gone from one plant too 10 plants so far. And I'm trying for red raspberries from seeds. I started with black raspberry And the wild black berry that went everywhere I'm allergic too their thorns so get keep cutting it out they are as tall and thick as a tree. All my do is forest came from mothers I bought peach,apple,cherry and plum trees but did get seedlings started from my golden delicious tree. My peach is gone now but I sure harvested off it for 18 years and the squirrels planted 2 peach in the corner of my garden I've now I have triple black raspberries,rhubarb,black berries,and also have cherry bushes.
These grow all along the dead end road on my street. I somehow did something to mine in yard and they haven't grown back. So im going up to put pots everywhere on both sides hidden and see what I can do. Thank you for sharimg
Awesome. I have lots of wild blackberry vines on the back of my property but they have thorns and you get torn up trying to get the berries. Last fall I picked up the last 2 thornless blackberry bushes on sale from my local Walmart. I wanted a few more, but now I see how to get them easy. My 2 blackberry bushes already have some long runners and now I know what to do with them. Going to share with my neighbors who love blackberries too.
I got a dwarf blackberry for growing in a container on the porch... the tip broke off so I stuck it in the soil next to the main plant. Now I have two blackberry plants! Haha it's too easy
God I love your channel! I am so glad I found you and subscribed, these videos are exactly what I was looking for. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!
@@savvydirtfarmer Oh, I've been a subscriber for about a year now. P.S. Also, I think it was brilliant of you to ask for suggestions on other easy to propagate plants!
I like to use a giant pot and add like 2 or 3 in of wood chips or dried leaves to the top of it as mulch to keep it moist. The larger the pot the longer you can go between watering for the less you got to worry about it
My dad used to rib me about being a black berry farmer when I'd brush hog the patches along the edges of my fields. He was right. All those chopped up pieces would take root. Willow is another that I've learned not to mow. I wonder if the more ornamental wi!lows are just as easy to propogate.
Great info, Thanks! I've got a BB that I just started mid Summer and it is growing well. I can see there is a longer cane growing up, but I am in zone 7A at the middle of Oct. Can this be done now knowing I have frost date within about 30 - 40 days? Or should I wait for Spring?
I had about a hundred different plants berries and fruit trees in my backyard and pots ready to go into my food Forest but then I broke my ankle and have been unable to take care of any of it for the last year. I went out there the other day and all I got left is a shit ton of raspberries and blackberries they routed through their pots and then spread all over.
Wow! Thank you for this information! Do you ever have problems with birds eating all of your blackberries that are in the ground? I want to grow some along property line but not sure if I'll have to net them all. Thanks in advance!
Word of advice if you're trying to sell these a two-year-old with flowers or berries on it will sell a hell of a lot better than just a little plant with nothing on it. I bought some blackberries at Lowe's they all had tons of berries covering them which enticed me to get extras cuz i already got a few buks in berries to eat from the plant so it offsets the costs and is just worth it
Plants would sell better with berries than without, for sure. But I can sell these for $8 each quickly in 8 weeks - from propagation to sold, and I’ve always sold as many as I can produce.
Aye man found ya channel from the Facebook RUclips group. Pretty great reveiw my man. I really like how u do and present ya videos. Great job keep up the amazing content & u will hit 100k in no time I believe in man..
Damn, now I feel worse about not getting this to work last year lol. My plant looks like it has more than double in thickness this year so it's probably worth trying again.
I noticed that mine started rooting anywhere they touched the ground so I just covered the vines near the end with a little dirt and let them go. I have no idea how many blackberry plants I have now. They have begun flowering. This year's haul should be nice.
Is the method the same for all types of blackberries? I bought blackberry plants last year. Don't remember the type name but they have thorns. Next time I'll buy thornless but I intend to try and get as much out of what I have.
Following advice from a different you tube short l cut many segments from canes of a thornless blackberry. I'm trying to propagate them in 3"pots filled with compost in front of a sunny window. It's been a good 3 weeks now and no new growth. Too much water? Your thoughts welcome.
Can you please tell me if the newly potted tips will produce berries the same year you pot them, or the next year, or the year after that? Just wondering if I started doing this, what to expect. Also do you over winter your potted plants in place simply outside, or inside somewhere (if zone 7 that gets some snow)? Thank you, great video!
Triple crown blackberries produce fruit on last season's growth. SO they do not produce first year, minus a fluke berry here or there. Over wintering? Everything I have sits outside in pots all winter. A *few* plants I cover, but they are still outside. I'm in zone 7, some snow, occasionally our temps dip to 10 degrees or as low as 0.
@@savvydirtfarmer That is perfect instruction, thank you very much! (overwintering... I meant basically storage of the little plants your just started, wondered whether to store them inside or outside, and you answered that in your reply :)). Thank you!
My five year old triple crown blackberry bush yielded almost 20 lbs of berries this year. Now we are selling our home and I don’t have enough time to use this method, plus temperatures are starting to drop in Vermont. Do you think I could successfully dig a few of them up with their roots and cut them away from the mother plant without killing them?
That should work. Also, once they are dormant (maybe they already are in your area??), you can cut off this year's growth into sticks, 6-12" long, and stick them in the ground or into potting soil and they will root as well.
I tried this and tried to follow the advice exactly as in the video. i didn't get any roots at all after several weeks. I have chester thornless blackberries. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
And here I just hammer a concrete stake into my clay soil and drop a cutting in. Other than a few which didn't make it when I forgot to water they all grew into giant bushes.
Very easy to root. The difference is I need mine to be in pots so I can sell them. I'm not interested in growing giant bushes. I'm interested in selling small plants to someone else who will grow them into giant bushes.
No. Blackberries don't need any help; they'd probably do fine in a bucket of sand. I start them pretty much any time in the summer once they start putting on their long runners.
Thank You so much !!! My neighbors want cuttings I thought now is the time while dormant . But now I’ll wait a couple months till it wakes up correct ? I am in 6a .
You can have some success with hardwood cuttings take now and stuck in the ground or in potting soil, but near 100% success with them once they are growing and you can use the method in this video.
i did try this method, but with high winds in my area, after two wweks, the apache wasnt succesful in rooting. ive heard of using spaghnum moss as a high success rate for all cuttings and i also have rooting hormones, which i didnt use last time. as i said high winds really dont make it easy to propogate cuttings this way. 40 mph gusts pull the plant out and rip any would be roots. my plan is to use spagnum moss, in a small bucket, with the tip deleafed and cut down the middle, then swirled in rooting hormone, and finally anchored in wet spagnum moss. seems like air layering might work too. it involves all those steps, except the plant can sway in the wind naturally. it also seems like making one slice through the middle of the soon to be root area increases success rates.
@@wallaceevans526 Depending on your zone, these will root *some*, even in winter. They can also be done as hardwood cuttings this time of year. But once they start growing in the Spring, you can propagate just about as many as you can imagine as fast as you can. Very, very easy.
How does your triple crown do as far as spreading under the ground.? I know people warn me be careful because they spread but I bet they are thinking of the one with the thorns , but I was thinking the thornless one might not be as aggressive as shooting those runners under the ground to places where you don't want it. Does yours stay in his space pretty good? of course I know you get the ones on the top but I'm talking about a the ones underground, those are the ones that can be a problem
They do spread as all blackberries do, as far as I know. For my setup, mine are growing on a chain link fence. My neighbor mows his side. I mow mine. SO the shoots that come up away from the fence just get mowed down with no problems.
I like to wait until they put on some new growth... at least a few inches. Then stick that new growth as shown here. That said, they will probably root right now... may be a little slower since it's still late winter.
@@savvydirtfarmer Thank You for your help. We have a few cold days around 30 coming so I'm going to wait a little longer then go for it. Now the shoots/ branchescoming off the main stalk can be prop as well or is it just the main one?
Do you know of a plant that is easier to propagate than these?
Butterfly bush
Good one!
What about hydrangeas ? Lime light. I took some cuttings off of this women’s tree 🌳 bush. It looks like a tree bush. Anyways I did a video of her gorgeous hydrangeas limelight hydrangeas.

That should work. Also, once they are dormant (maybe they already are in your area??), you can cut off this year's growth into sticks, 6-12" long, and stick them in the ground or into potting soil and they will root as well.
Will do, thank you!

@@wallaceevans526 Depending on your zone, these will root *some*, even in winter. They can also be done as hardwood cuttings this time of year. But once they start growing in the Spring, you can propagate just about as many as you can imagine as fast as you can. Very, very easy.
How does your triple crown do as far as spreading under the ground.? I know people warn me be careful because they spread but I bet they are thinking of the one with the thorns , but I was thinking the thornless one might not be as aggressive as shooting those runners under the ground to places where you don't want it. Does yours stay in his space pretty good? of course I know you get the ones on the top but I'm talking about a
the ones underground, those are the ones that can be a problem
They do spread as all blackberries do, as far as I know. For my setup, mine are growing on a chain link fence. My neighbor mows his side. I mow mine. SO the shoots that come up away from the fence just get mowed down with no problems.
Very good and to the point! Thank you! Can you propagate raspberries the same way?
Good question! I've never tried. But, if you do, let me know how it goes. I would like to know!
@@savvydirtfarmer I sure will
@@Sense2024 keep us posted!
Raspberries will do the same
Thanks. Do you think the thornless ones will crowd out our invasive, native ones? Just a thought. Love your videos.
I don't know. All I can say for sure is the thornless variety I grow is EXTREMELY vigorous. Spreads rapidly!
Is it too late to start propagating mid September like you did putting the tip and dirt?
Might as well try - won't hurt a thing.
Should this work with both Primocanes and floricanes? I planted one and it didn't do anything but I think it was a floricane.
Should work with either
Great Video! how low of temp can they take? I live in Alberta ..Thanks
these are hardy zones 5-9
When is the best time to propagate your BB?? It's still winter here in AR, but my plants are starting to show new growth.
I like to wait until they put on some new growth... at least a few inches. Then stick that new growth as shown here. That said, they will probably root right now... may be a little slower since it's still late winter.
@@savvydirtfarmer Thank You for your help. We have a few cold days around 30 coming so I'm going to wait a little longer then go for it. Now the shoots/ branchescoming off the main stalk can be prop as well or is it just the main one?
How do you know when a tip is ready to be covered in soil?
Just about any time
Can you do this to raspberry bushes also?
I haven't tried, but I don't see why not
Triple crown will send out roots even through grass without a pot of dirt. They tip layer themselves if you don't prevent them from doing so!
In this method do you use a year old cane or new shoot cane? And does it matter when in the year Spring-fall?
I use the canes from current year growth
@@savvydirtfarmer
Fantastic I can’t wait to try this. I just got some great growth this year. So excited, thank you.
Would this work with grapes/muscadines as well
I've only propagated grapes from cuttings, but as prolific as they are, it would probably work. Muscadines? Never tried.
