just as effective: a piece of towel paper from kitchen with some moss covered soil wrapped around wound with aluminium foil covered. and thats it. 3 days it settles. and 3 weeks it starts growing. and 3 months nice product. done it a trillion times. it works.
I have a great suggestion for you u Pour some dried dirt in the bottle after you make your holes. Fill it halfway. Now lay it horizontal. And slide it over your branch . Now using a funnel now fill with water and you can ad rooting hormones to the water or rub it on the cambium that you exposed , before covering the branch. Also make sure the cambium is covered with a-lot of the dirt once you turn it vertical . Them zip tie to another branch for support Twine if zip ties too short. Enjoyed your idea !
Take a ziplock bag fill it with soil, flatten it, make a cut horizontally, wrap it around the tree, wrap the bag around the limb, tape the bag around the tree, wrap some aluminum foil around the bag is another way we have watched it done too
in the RGV for two years , planted a peach tree that gave me one peach the first year, nothing this year -it did flower but no fruit. thank so much for your instructions , tomorrow cant come soon enough , i'm so ready to try your method!!! thank you again
Great idea to teach folks something they dont kow how to do, but i just put soil in first and just push it over the branch. Its real neat to see a tree grow that you had a hand in....
This is a great Idea..Im going to try this with a peach tree that is my favorite tree..I feel like this will give great results..thank you for a great video..
Purdy cool, got an idea, I will try, fill the bottle w/dirt force a small piece of PVC through the bottom, and out the lid, slide slide the peach limb through the PVC, then remove the PVC. Just an idea.
I'm in Missouri and refreshing my rooting skills. Your video was the 1 I needed. Simplicity is a not only a descriptive word for the video but this is too long of a sentence. Thanks for the info on what I was doing wrong with my scraps.
Jorge Ramirez I will definitely give an update and show how to plant it up. I also have a video out already were I did the same technique on a fig tree and potted it up. It’s titled fig tree grew roots in the middle of a branch. Check it out and it should help you out.
Hi Nathan, that is a brilliant way of re-using plastic bottles, and it looks fairly easy too. I dont grow peaches myself, dont see why it wouldnt work on other fruit trees though so I might give it a go at some point. Great video, thank you.
Petals on the Paving Slabs yes it works on multiple types of trees though typically used on those trees that are more difficult to root as cuttings. Thanks for stopping by.
I am using your method next. My trees are in bloom. I am placing the water bottles on the new growth after scraping the outside off. No real bark on the new cuttings.
Made it little cumbersome. A side cut from lower hole to bottle cap would have made it easier to fill the bottle with soil. A foil wrap and a zip tie over the bottle could take care of the cut, sun light and rain water.
Why didn't you fill the bottle with dirt prior to placing it on the branch? Also why didn't you use root hormone? How long before rooting takes place? Do you need to add water weekly.? Regards Phillipe
I have seen people use an almost sterile field doing this. Is there much risk of disease doing it your way. I am going to try this! Thank you for the upload!
@@kbltexmex Gotcha! Makes perfect sense. Am going to do it. Also is there a good time of year to do this? I am guessing right now. And not in late fall. Going to watch some more of your videos. See if you have already made content. That answers other questions I have. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!!
I cut two 6ft TOPS off of my Peach Tree today. I scraped the bark and exposed the fibers. I poured Clonex on them. I then stuck them both in a 5gal bucket with half a gallon of good water. Will they root in the water bucket method???
I take it your air layering/ propagation didn’t work as we didnt see an update as promised. I’m about to air layer a peach tree so I hope it works. I know I need to use rooting compound or honey to stimulate growth. Only moist not “soaking wet” moss or filler will do. Needs to be sealed top and bottom so it won’t dry out. The condensation will keep it moist enough over the months. I appreciate your video and wish you success out on your ranch. 😃 yay Texas! I’m a born and raised Texan myself living in East Texas.
tried to root my peach tree cuttings in water. I cut them off the tree. Three weeks they are surviving, but not rooting yet. This is an interesting approach to keep the cutting attached and then root it.
Thanks for the amazing video, may I know how often it needs to be watered? And how long would it take to shoot roots and how we can understand when the roots are ready?
Does a peach tree have to be grafted to some sort of root stock or will you get a good tasting peach just from this new start? So once this roots, you just plant it? Thanks for the video. I want to give this a try!
Great simplistic well thought out video. I'm here in Indiana on some land. I'm focused on sustainability and homesteading. I've been involved in aspects of components of the life for a lot of years. I'm now culminating the knowledge and executing. I have some new plum, peach, apricot trees I'd like to propagate using cloning. A lot of my trees are on root stocks primarily to offer size traits or cold hardiness I believe. None of that I particularly care about outside of climate related issues. They claim I'm in zone 6A but literally everywhere around this one swirl in Indiana is in 5A or 5B...... I've long thought zone 5 and the powers that be are messing with me. I'd like to know or see the time frame on rooting, removal and subsequent planting of that peach clone. I subscribed and hope to see the before mentioned and more from you. I've noticed a lot of videos show things that work in theory and seem successful but rarely do I see updates or coverage of those things shown and followed on a time frame. Makes me question how much and successful some things shown are in producing viable things long term. Good luck and great video how too and showing little tricks that only people who do these things know.
John Coale II thank you for watching though I didn’t get to film any of the results from this propagation I plan to do so in progression next go around. This tree is on its last leg do to some water damage and I wanted to get as many propagations done on it as I could to carry it on. But typically I leave the bottles on for 8-10 weeks to form a good root ball that will do well when transplanted into a container and then ultimately into the ground. I do my propagating as soon as the nights no longer freeze which is early for me down here in south east Texas.
Splitting the bottle and filling is easier but I find more moisture escapes that way. Then I end up wrapping it in cellophane or something of that nature.
How about doing what you did by cutting the top and bottom hole, but also slicing the side on the same bottle, then fill the same bottle with dirt. Mark where you want to slide the bottle down with the zip tie, and slide the bottle down on the exposed cambium that's already filled with dirt? Just tape the side shut...
the problem i have is my best peach tree starts blooming 1st week in feb i will take some cuttings in jan see if i have any better luck ihav about 10 trees 2-5 yrs old
Very good content, my dear Friend, new visit from Italia,♣ not be never late but found your beautiful content about propagating trees, great videos! Stay tune with us bak and stay safe dear friend!
Hi i have 2 sticks that i cut off trree when i was out of town i put in aloe and water now about 3 wks its still alive but no roots growing or fresh leaves so how to propagate in water
If you keep it covered and moist and preferably dark it will force roots out. Doesn’t always work so if you have multiple branches to try it betters your chances of one taking. I usually do branches I am planning to prune anyway. Also time is of essence you don’t want to do it while it has fruit. Early spring or after fruiting is complete works best for me
Another way is take a freezer bag, fill it with moist dirt, seal the opening, split it down the middle, set the limb in the middle, wrap it around with duct tape.
Awesome video, thank you... can this be done any time of the year? Is there a time that works better like early Spring? We live near Palm Springs Cali, zone 9.
I just came across your channel this morning. Im trying to learn to propagate and this video is very helpful. Can you tell me what is the best time of year to do this.
im just guessing but it looks like you could fill the bottle with soil before you place it on the limb just slide it down the limb should push throw easy enough then wet and seal it save a few steps
Interesting. I didn't know that was a technique to use. Might have to try that on one of my plum trees. Would it work on an aged tree or do they have to be less than 5?
Jules Gardening it should work fine you just want to do it on new growth. Right now last years growth will do if you do it in the summer you would want to use new growth from the spring.
No watering required but if things look dry add water, 4 to 8 weeks for roots depending on your climate. Should be able to see a good root ball through clear plastic.
Kevin Anderson I typically do it right at the beginning of spring. This is when the tree is putting on the most growth and has the most energy. There is plenty of time before it starts fruiting. Also it not super hot yet and the moisture holds better keeping the rioting damp and doesn’t put so much strain on the branch.
Frank Davidson I was not able to get a video of it for I was pressed for time but I did work. I was 50/50 on it I did 12 and 6 of them rooted. Though I did do 2 bottles on 1 branch and those didn’t take. I noticed that it did better on 2+ yr old growth. None of my first year growth took.
Could you recommend sth more eco friendly, rather than plastic bottles? They re a terrible thing! Try a charcoal stick to filter your tap water, you can get it at a health food store, much better for the environment... We all have to make a little change! Still very nice moustache! :) And what s next, how long do you have to wait till the roots are big enough to plant out? Do you have a video on that? Thanks again
just as effective: a piece of towel paper from kitchen with some moss covered soil wrapped around wound with aluminium foil covered. and thats it. 3 days it settles. and 3 weeks it starts growing. and 3 months nice product. done it a trillion times. it works.
Johan Conradie awesome thanks for the advice I will definitely give that a try.
Thanks, I'll give this a try as well. Do you score the bark with the foil method?
If you grafted one cutting per second, 24 hrs a day, then you must've started about 31,000 yrs ago.
You did the math. Would also have a lot of peaches.
Nice. I'll try both.
Finally, a description of airlayering that is easy to follow. JBL you are the best.

Any update on the peach tree cuttings yet?
He said fu** your update.
This is a great way of air layering, thank you for sharing your expertise

It’s like air layer which we can use plastic bags and wrap with aluminum foil. After 6 weeks it will have toots.

None needed
4-8 weeks
Shouldn’t have to but use your best judgment on moistness
Nice mustache! 👍
I have seen people use an almost sterile field doing this. Is there much risk of disease doing it your way.

hasn't worked for me yet. Most of my cuttings have been submerged in 1" of water with bark exposed, but they seem to be dying.
Hi Ted, it’s been 10 months ago since your project. Can you update? Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the amazing video, may I know how often it needs to be watered? And how long would it take to shoot roots and how we can understand when the roots are ready?
With this method no water is added once it’s sealed up. Takes about 4-6 weeks to root and you will see the root ball forming
Like your mustache.
Not all fruit trees will accept this method.
What I do is make a slit like you did and fill it with dirt and wrap it on the tree and than wrap it with tape
That works just as well. There are many techniques to accomplish the same results. Thank you for sharing.
You could prolly just slide a funnel over the branch to fill dirt
Great idea!!! Will give it a go
I've not seen this method before! How did it work out for you? I'd love an update!
I thought Jonnie Depp made a Tree video at first..
when you bore that hole try using a wood bit with an auger tip should go right in save a little time if you this alot
Does a peach tree have to be grafted to some sort of root stock or will you get a good tasting peach just from this new start? So once this roots, you just plant it? Thanks for the video. I want to give this a try!
The new start will determine the taste of the peach. Root stock is just to give it a better start. Yes once it roots plant it and let it grow.
Thanks so much! I will give it a try!

Thank you!
Great information, man! I wonder, why not just slit the initial bottle and stuff the dirt or moss in that way? That is one less step.
Splitting the bottle and filling is easier but I find more moisture escapes that way. Then I end up wrapping it in cellophane or something of that nature.

My notes: Zone 9b, 4 weeks before spring.
Very good content, my dear Friend, new visit from Italia,♣ not be never late but found your beautiful content about propagating trees, great videos! Stay tune with us bak and stay safe dear friend!
Hi i have 2 sticks that i cut off trree when i was out of town i put in aloe and water now about 3 wks its still alive but no roots growing or fresh leaves so how to propagate in water
I have never tried in just water but I will have to give it a try
So, how long before rooting?
What to do then, just cut it flush with bottle?
It takes about 4-6 weeks for a good root ball then remove bottle and cut it about 2” below the roots and pot up or plant directly into soil
This is great, when do you cut it? And where do you cut it?
What i don't get is that isn't this like girdling a tree? Every time I've tried this method, the branch died.
If you keep it covered and moist and preferably dark it will force roots out.
Doesn’t always work so if you have multiple branches to try it betters your chances of one taking. I usually do branches I am planning to prune anyway. Also time is of essence you don’t want to do it while it has fruit. Early spring or after fruiting is complete works best for me

In spring when tree starts to get its first leaves
@@kbltexmex thank you..
and next? I tried it before but it didn't work out, with this video i shouldn't t have any trouble ,thank you
Where is the result?
If you seal it in a plastic layer and then some aluminum foil, do you need to water it anymore?
Can you propagate a dwarf bonanza peach with this method?
You Should be able to
im just guessing but it looks like you could fill the bottle with soil before you place it on the limb just slide it down the limb should push throw easy enough then wet and seal it save a few steps
Frank Davidson that should work just fine never tried it but I will give it a go.

Ballsy stache bro I wonder how long till it root?
What time of year did you do this and what zone are you in?
hey, after i propagate the peach tree, what do i do after? do i cut it below the water bottle and plant it into the ground?
Yes wonts it has a good root ball cut it about 2 inches below the roots and pot it up or plant in directly into the ground
Can i use this method on any fruit tree?
Do cuttings from a grafted tree retain any of the rootstock characteristics?
I don’t believe so, typically they retain their traits from the mother tree.
Anyone know how long to wait for roots? And how often to water?
No watering required but if things look dry add water, 4 to 8 weeks for roots depending on your climate. Should be able to see a good root ball through clear plastic.
How long did it take to root?
4 weeks
I want to know how long does it take to root the peach tree from this method?
Roots form in a couple of weeks. Wait 6 to 8 weeks to get strong roots for potting.
How long dose it take to root
4-6 weeks
👍
but then what happens?
How long till i can cut it off in put in a pot?
Sorry for the late reply but I usually wait about 8 weeks
Is there a best time of year to do this? I see there are no leafs on the tree he is working on.
Kevin Anderson I typically do it right at the beginning of spring. This is when the tree is putting on the most growth and has the most energy. There is plenty of time before it starts fruiting. Also it not super hot yet and the moisture holds better keeping the rioting damp and doesn’t put so much strain on the branch.
What month is the best?
For my area I like to start in May
How long does it take before u get roots to cut it off?
4-6 weeks
Thanks for the video. I would suggest a hot poker vs drill bit. It will be faster and you wont runa bit in your hand(been there)
So after this... do you cut off the branch and it will have rooted, then you plant?
Yes, once it has roots, cut it below the root ball and plant it. I usually pot them for a season then plant them in the grown the next
@@kbltexmex Ok! So to clarify, they stay potted for a year, then?
Yes that’s what I do just so I can make sure they stay healthy but they can go into the ground immediately
has any one tried this same method fo pecan trees will it work i rooted a muscadine vine by buring a lon vine in the dirt with some bark removed
Frank Davidson I have not attempted this on a pecan tree yet but plan to. I usually just grow them from seed but it’s a long wait for production.
did you have any luck with this method ive never seen that much water used before this is last of june 2020 let is know if it worked
Frank Davidson I was not able to get a video of it for I was pressed for time but I did work. I was 50/50 on it I did 12 and 6 of them rooted. Though I did do 2 bottles on 1 branch and those didn’t take. I noticed that it did better on 2+ yr old growth. None of my first year growth took.
About how many are successful this way?
About 80 percent success rate
