I have done all the same methods for my cherry , apple trees, rhododendrons, hydrangeas. I have a 4th tip: this is known as air layering; take the lowest long branch still attached to your shrub and bend the branch down without breaking it and burry a node about 5-6” and just forget about it until you see new growth. Cut from mother plant and transplant where you want or gift it.
FOR TREES: scar a thin branch at the collar ( where it branches from the trunk) or a node and place potting about a cup of moist potting mix in in a bag (grocery bag or zip loc) make sure soil is covering the node or crown and wrapped to keep soil in. Depending on variety of tree you will see roots anywhere from 6 weeks-3 months. When you see healthy roots detach and transplant. Also you can remove some leaves as she did in the video and it will speed up the root development. You can also add some rooting hormone to where you scared it if you want but not necessary they will root without it!
Was there ever a follow-up to this? Which method worked best?
I thought you knew what happened to the presenter 😢
@@juliocegewhat happened?
Yes, what happened?
I still can't find a follow-up video
Great video, hope you have a update one about the final results
I’m planning on planting everything around May 1st. I’ll do a follow-up then! Thank you! 🌸
Easy peasy! Thank you. I have a friend with some bushes, pretty sure I can get some cuttings for our place.
I also live in Tennessee. I'm in zone 7. I am eager to order a forsythia plant (show-off starlet). When can/should i put it in the ground. I have not been able to find that in my research. Is it after they bloom? Love watching you and happy wedding festivities.
How did the forsythias do? I looked for a follow up video and didn’t see one, but maybe I missed it. Thanks!
My 80+ year old landlady has an old forsythia here on her family's (from late 1800's) property. Im going to surprise her by propagating it. It really needs cut back to the ground to rejuvenate it... But I don't know if I could talk her into it yet. Lol
I just rooted 10 today and some blueberries suckers keep your fingers crossed
Great job, thanks for sharing for knowledge on rerooting from cuttings. Does this system work the same for any bushes?
Unfortunately, not all shrubs will root that easily. That’s why forsythias are such a treat. They give and give. 💛
Hear birtch and willow does
follow up results?
You can actually just stick the cuttings into the ground. No need to root like that. Quicker way
i've seen the cuttings planted upside down and they'll root
I snipped two 6-8" stems of first bud in early March, then just stuck them in the ground. 5 weeks in and they're still alive, most likely rooting well. My #1 rule is to keep the bottoms warmer than the tops and they will root. I've been very successful with roses, azaleas, and multiple shrubs. I'll use rooting hormone in pots, but none if going into the ground. Zone 5. Oh yes, praying over them, too!
@@hollylc9914 you've propagated azaleas in zone 5?? I tried 6 cuttings last July, deciduous not evergreen azalea, soon as blooms done and new growth came. No success. But I didn't have bottom heat.
@jonathannorthup2471 I planted the stems facing south yet in dappled light, with a stone wall behind them. The ground kept warm near the stones while the tops were shielded from too much sun. Air temp stays cool til May where we are, just enough time to root. My azaleas are the last to bloom on our street, they're 2' dwarves
you can just stick them in the ground they root fast.
I watched the entire video and never got any answers.
You can't kill those things. Their roots creep out and replant themselves everywhere
I love forsythia
Me too! These are for Tricia so hopefully they work!
