HOLY CRAP THIS ACTUALLY WORKS!! Just tried it out with a bunch of blackberry/Rubus bushes in an empty lot near my parents, and a month later they're all rooted!!
@@MikeKincaid79 Tip layering doesn't work for me. I just tried it with my blackberry, along with standard dirt rooting and water rooting. All methods failed. They turn black, then it starts spreading upwards. It looks like rot. Can you tell me what I am doing wrong? Are you supposed to keep the soil moist when tip layering or dry?
@@candyman5749maybe the tip was to thin? I have good results with tip layering. Today I noticed some new growth from a tip layering I did three months ago so sometimes it takes a while. Just try again next spring. Water: I guess it's good to keep it not too wet.
it grew upside down!!! I would never have thought that would work. But it did! Thanks so much for all these videos. I get just as excited as you do watching it work!
thanks mike. just getting into the blackberry plants. Doing this because of my grandson loves blackberries I love to play with plants. I have only 2 plants and they are doing really good, even have blooms and berries. Just need to learn more.
Living in south central Florida, I've struggled to find very hardy breeds of blackberry from nurseries near me that can stand the heat. But there are wild blackberries not far from me, I may just try your method and attempt to bring it back to my property! Thanks so much
oh mike, alway showing the humorous side of yourself and gardening. no plants where harmed making this video. of course, your gonna have a beautiful plant by next year, we'll remind you to show us and maybe a berry will appear. on taking a walk this summer, i had seen a rasberry bush growing out between 2 large rocks, so berries are somewhat tolerable of many conditions. later, carmine.
I set a blackberry pot on the ground and it attached itself to the dirt through the holes in the pot. Since then, it has branched out left and right beside my house and gotten longer. Some have worked their way through the netting and there is no way to get them out without cutting the net or cutting the branch back. Knowing I can root those errant branches makes me feel less guilty about eventually trimming them back because I can still plant them in a suitable place and not lose them. Thanks for the easy and descriptive video and the encouragement.
thank you! i have a thorny blackberry growing right by my front door. I need to trim it back of course, to get in and out of my house. but before I do, now i can take a cutting and keep a part of the plant!
Going to try this tomorrow. Noticed that mine would do this in my yard, plant the ends itself. Will try to make more doing the same. Thank you for the video
love this channel, always good ideas with descriptions... I did the blackberry bending head in dirty, worked perfectly.. new plant grown.. then I decided to try another version, I cut the vine as if I was rooting raspberry plants but I made sure to keep one leaf and plants top in...
Good job Christian! Sure is easy when propagating blackberries this way. By the way, there's a part 2 to this video if you want to see a follow up the following summer: ruclips.net/video/8sjVF3sdlKw/видео.html
Where do you get your shredded bark growing/rooting medium? Would coco coir work the same? Seems like the bark would break down and provide some nutrients? You recommend zero soil?
Mike! Your video's never disappoint! Your injury did not stop you from achieving your goals! Video ideas! Update tour of nursery and home plants? Grafting experiments!

Thanks for the ideas! I love new ideas and take them all into consideration. Wish I didn't have to go back to work, otherwise I'd be able to just keep cranking out videos. Someday.
I have blackberries growing along my fence outside, growing wild, I just ripped up a few of the first year canes, not too much roots on them, about 6-7ft tall plants, replants in a container with good soil and they will fruit the next year, they are doing fine.
I used your plastic soda bottle idea to root a hard wood scheffelera foliage house plant. It worked!!!!! I was going to give up until I saw you video. It was all about the humidity. I want to show you the pics. Do you have an email I can send the pics to? I have some questions for you concerning how to keep this healthy and growing without any mistakes. Let me know, David in CT
Awesome news, David! You should get into our Facebook group: facebook.com/groups/346884795717132 You can post all the pics you want there and I'd love to see them.
I found out that my blackberry plant rooted it's self into my back yard when I went out there to cut off some of the long tips to root 2 days ago. I wasn't sure if I should leave it or not, so I did. Lol glad I did now...😊
Mike, I was just outside preparing my propagating box. Every time I did something, I would say, "Mike said ....." and in this case I said, "Mike said to use a potting soil that drains well but still holds moisture." I am beginning to get started taking some cuttings and making videos of what I do. Thanks for all your help and instruction. OAG
I've taken on this style of propagation and it's working beautifully!! Now I'm going into my 1st winter with a bunch of these rooted quite well. My question is how do I winter these young plants? I live in Southern Missouri near the South edge of zone 6.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thanks. Got a couple of stems in pots of compost so I'll see how they go. The bush sprung up last year. The bees loved it and got a lot of fruit from it. Unfortunately it's growing through the cracks of concreted area and unfortunately has to go to make repairs for a shed. I'd like to move it if I can, but propagating some shoots as a back up is probably a good idea.
Gosh I’ve watched other videos regarding propagating blackberries from clippings that were given to me and I have failed miserably ( yes even talked to them ) with know luck. I’ll wait till I can find them locally and buy them, and try again. Thx for sharing your knowledge.
I'm visiting Portland right now and there are blackberries EVERYWHERE! they have vicious thorns though. my legs and arms are so scratched up! but i picked and froze enough for a good batch of jelly when i get home. Knowing that there are thornless varieties helps me be patient rather than clipping off a few branches to take home.
Hi Mike, great video as always. I think one thing is going for you each time you propagate, you are lucky to have the warm temperatures to propagate, here in Wales not so lucky. I planted last year some Black berries and a few Logan berries, I I will try it when the shoots are long enough. Keep up the good work, and stay safe. Danny Davies. :)
Thanks, Danny. I think we have similar weather. I live in Western Washington State and it usually stays pretty cool here. We get more cloudy days than any other state in the union and our area is known for having a constant drizzle of rain. We get a couple months of good sun and nice weather in the summer and then back to rain.
your vid is the best as it shows people step by step and it answer question people may have about planting a stem/bare root which has buds that are pointing down.looks like mother nature takes over and the stems come from bud area and indeed turn upwards.if i could i would run up the number on the like button about a hundred times..thanks again...
Loved it! New subscriber! Actually an old subscriber and had to hunt you up and re-subscribe! Liberals didnt like some of my comments describing their deficits! Cant keep a good man down. Anyway, for you peeps on the fence about subscibing... Mike is one of the very best on RUclips when it comes to propagating plants. Beautiful little girls of his help him on occaision and fun watching the little minds open to nature while spending time with their Dad! Great channel!
I had to go back and watch the video. That plant is actually a new rhododendron variety that my wife and I picked up at a nursery several hours from home. We hadn't planted it out in the landscape yet. The variety was 'Picobello'
I love blackberries but thornless blackberries would definitely become a favorite kind to grow for making my turnovers for my grown children as one of their favorites that I would make for them on special occasions. I have never seen this method of growing from one plant to another before. You have inspired me to share this with my son who has a green thumb. These would be great for my grandkids to pick and share with me! So many roots Mike I wonder how you learned how to propagate these using this method? 👍
Im planning on taking some blackberry sprigs from my dads house. Im hoping they survive the drive to my home once I get them. They're wild berries so I get clawed up every year but they just have a better taste in my opinion than tame berries xD
I wondered, "Why anyone would *want* to propagate blackberries?" .. until you said they were thornless! My back fence is covered in them and it's an on-going battle to try and pull them out! I swear, in the summer you can watch them grow if you stare at them for 3 minutes! When my husband comes in looking like he's been in a battle with a bobcat - I know that blackberries now fill our yard waste bin! I know you focus on propagating, but have you any secrets to share with other Washington residents to ridding our yards of nuisance "green wildlife?" (ie bracken, stinky bob, european blackberries, ivy, knapweed, common st johnswort, scotch broom, etc? Love your channel, glad to see you getting dirty again!
@@MikeKincaid79 here in Massachusetts (and not just Massachusetts) we have an invasion of oriental bittersweet. I call it the evil vine. Maybe you could talk about invasive species and how to identify them. If everyone was aware and proactive about eliminating them from their property we could help curb the problem.
That was fantastic! I'm heading out the door to root my blackberries. I have good potting soil that I mix and berries that need those long stems rooted. ;-) Thanks so much Mike.
I have a giant native berry bush down by the bay near my house (boysen, black, logan) not sure what kind... I could leave a pot rooting it down by the bay but I'd rather not. Is there a way to just dig up the perennial roots beneath some new primocanes I've spotted coming out of the ground?
Mike your the man ! Always learn a ton from your chanel. Thanks for sharing. I originally had two blackberry bushes. But with your help I now have ten !
Thanks for the video. Very informative. Could you please tell us how to propagate blackberry and blueberry from cuttings? I need to cut a branch from the hiking trail I go. Where to cut the branch and when? I like wild blackberry and blueberry. They taste much better.
I live in Western Washington State, I just sound like I live in the south, haha. We have magnolias up here too and I keep wanting to do some videos about them (deciduous and evergreen) but never seem to get around to it. I need to make that a priority.
@@MikeKincaid79 oh lol haha, here in deep south everywhere you look you see a southern magnolia. They just love it here. It just takes them as long as 15 years to bloom from seed. That's why it would be helpful for me to take cuttings.
I have some cuttings that still are not getting roots! I keep watching all of your videos. It’s been over a month now. Mostly everything is green. Mix of all kinds of cuttings from bushes to trees. No roots! Grrrr lol. I’m in zone 6. Gotta keep trying!
This one made me smile Mike. I have a wild blackberry that comes from next door ! It’s rooted all the way along my pyracanthus hedge! As soon as I cut one bit another bit sprouts up!! I know how to propagate those bad boys!! Great information though! Thanks Mike. Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧
Hey there! Question you probably answered a billion times but I don’t see it anywhere, when propitiating any tree, Bush etc. the buds that go under the dirt - do you leave the buds on or do you remove the buds for roots? Thanks!
I am so thankful for this video. I subscribed in hopes I could find more information on growing blackberries and strawberries (and vegetables). I like how detailed you are when talking about how blackberries grow. This is my first year growing blackberries and have so many questions. One is if my baby cake blackberries outgrow the pot, can I split the roots and plant the other half or will it ruin the root ball? I also want to know when/how to fertilize. I am also growing navajo blackberries and am wondering how deep to plant the gopher shield? Directly underneath the plant? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and all of your videos!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, you can divide blackberries. Just split the roots between 2 canes. I’d do that at the beginning of the growing season so they’ve got time to recover and grow.
Thank you so much for your reply! Another question, do all blackberries grow from the tips or do they also grow out of the ground from the crown? Also, I have a 60 quart pot for a baby cakes blackberry. Is that too big?
Yes the saplings tray which has many holes. So what should be the minimum size of those or if we use a small pot, wht should be minimum size? To grow in and then shift to soil or big pot.
New sub here. Excellent info and technique. Thanks so much. You are talking about warmth...will they not grow roots through the winter months? I would love to try this. Thanks for your help. Jesus bless.
so during the month I'm waiting do I keep the soil moist, allow it to dry out, not water it at all (this is Phoenix, so this is probably not the right answer) or you just need to water the parent plant until you make the big snip?
How would you do it from a cutting? There's a wild one growing in my apartment complex, which is weird because I live in an urban area. Nobody touches it and all the berries just fall to the ground and go to waste. It's so random. I want to take a clipping and have my own plant.

It's pretty cool what you can do with plants.
Aaaargh, that hurt so much! Beautiful demonstration, but at least you preserved that new plant, at least to sell it!
Still have it here and it's thriving!
If you use a transparent clear plastic vase you can see trough the new roots !!! For Teaching purposes !!!
Would it be useful to add a root boosting powder to the cut suckers before putting it into the soil?
Sure, rooting hormones can be helpful.
Thanks 🙏 I had no idea I could do this. Thanks
No problem 👍
Hi Mike ,what's the best type of soil mix to use for blackberry propagating. Thanx
I use finely ground fir tree bark but here’s a good video about rooting medium: ruclips.net/video/eLXHy4A4-xk/видео.htmlsi=nJ3ki6-sA7_TIFyV
Bc I bought a blackberries plant today at Wal-Mart and put it in ground
can you do this with the previous years growth after it produces the berries
No, use new growth from the current season.
This one made me smile Mike. I have a wild blackberry that comes from next door ! It’s rooted all the way along my pyracanthus hedge! As soon as I cut one bit another bit sprouts up!! I know how to propagate those bad boys!! Great information though! Thanks Mike. Graham 🇬🇧🇬🇧
LOL, good luck with it. I've got the same problem coming in from my neighbor's place.
Totally smiled entire time!! Perfect! I could watch you all day! “stuff that tip right in the pot!!”
Great video! Love it! Have you ever tried cuttings? Can I cut some now and put them in soil in a cool room to sprout?
I've tried cuttings but with less success than this method. Now would probably be a great time to do cuttings of them.
Yay! We also have triple crown 😄. ❤️ your videos! Very educational!! Kristy in Missouri zone 6b 😃🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Thanks Kristy! I really like the variety. Need to get it planted in soil, lol
Gonna have to give it a try! Thanks!
Have fun!
Can you take cuttings and do this? I can get cuttings from a local farm when the prune for the upcoming season.
Yes you can. Root them like I did in the rose video.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you
Hey there! Question you probably answered a billion times but I don’t see it anywhere, when propitiating any tree, Bush etc. the buds that go under the dirt - do you leave the buds on or do you remove the buds for roots? Thanks!
I remove the buds to expose the cambium.
Mike Kincaid thank you
What is the name of the potting medium you are using it appears that it is a bark thanks
Yep, just finely ground fir tree bark. I've got some videos about it.
How far down are the buds regenerative? only on the meristem/tender areas or on the woody parts too?
It would probably root anywhere along the stem at the bud sites.
Should I keep up on watering the pot or should I just let nature water? Let me know please
Either way you choose, just make sure the medium doesn't dry out. It will depends on temps and how much rain you get.
I am so thankful for this video. I subscribed in hopes I could find more information on growing blackberries and strawberries (and vegetables). I like how detailed you are when talking about how blackberries grow. This is my first year growing blackberries and have so many questions. One is if my baby cake blackberries outgrow the pot, can I split the roots and plant the other half or will it ruin the root ball? I also want to know when/how to fertilize. I am also growing navajo blackberries and am wondering how deep to plant the gopher shield? Directly underneath the plant? Thanks for sharing your knowledge and all of your videos!
Glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, you can divide blackberries. Just split the roots between 2 canes. I’d do that at the beginning of the growing season so they’ve got time to recover and grow.
Thank you so much for your reply! Another question, do all blackberries grow from the tips or do they also grow out of the ground from the crown?
Also, I have a 60 quart pot for a baby cakes blackberry. Is that too big?
Late to this show but should I wait until the plant is finished fruiting or can it be cut and started now so it can be planted in early fall?
You can start it now. They earlier the better.
what time of the year you can do it best? now too? in northern hemniphere?
Best time is during the growing season but you can do it now, it just won't grow roots until the weather warms up.
What should be the size of hole if we're using saplings tray for propagating blackberries from cuttings?
size of hole?
Yes the saplings tray which has many holes. So what should be the minimum size of those or if we use a small pot, wht should be minimum size? To grow in and then shift to soil or big pot.
For blackberries, I'd use at least a 1 gallon pot. I suppose you could use something even smaller but once they root, they need a lot of room to grow.
Mike Kincaid, can I do this now in the fall, leave it in the pot till next spring then snip it and place it in it's new location?
Yes, but it probably won't fully root until the weather warms up again next summer. But yes, it should work just fine.
@@MikeKincaid79 Thank you so much !
Does this have to be done in fall?
AWESOME!!
No, that's just when I did it. You can do this all summer long.
I would like to see if you can propagate through cuttings.
I’ll have to give it a try.
@MikeKincaid79 recently did it and manged to get it to grow from clipping from new branches but with only 1 out of 15 taking hold.
I would like to buy/make that sterile media. Can you tell us exactly what the brand OR ratios of inert products to make that media? Thanks
It's just finely ground fir tree bark. I buy it as mulch at a local landscape supply business.
wow. gonna propagate a bunch off the two i have then. i was about to buy more XD. thanks for this video!
Yep, just multiply what you have. No need to spend more money.
New sub here. Excellent info and technique. Thanks so much.
You are talking about warmth...will they not grow roots through the winter months? I would love to try this.
Thanks for your help. Jesus bless.
Root growth slows down with cool temps and stops below 55 degrees, so I guess it depends on where you live.
Can the shoots that have the berries be used?
Yes, but cut the berries and flowers off so energy goes to roots.
I have a mint and strawberry addiction I've propagated 30 +mints and 9 strawberry working on blackberry now
HI they can grow in greenhouse in Ontario Canada with -25 in winter? Thanks
Not sure, I've never tried to grow in weather that cold.
@@MikeKincaid79 thanks
Can this be done year around or only certain seasons?
You can stick the branch tip in the ground anytime but it won’t root until the temps warm up above 55 degrees.
Good work , thanks for the video
No problem!
so during the month I'm waiting do I keep the soil moist, allow it to dry out, not water it at all (this is Phoenix, so this is probably not the right answer) or you just need to water the parent plant until you make the big snip?
You still need to maintain moisture in the rooting medium.
How would you do it from a cutting? There's a wild one growing in my apartment complex, which is weird because I live in an urban area. Nobody touches it and all the berries just fall to the ground and go to waste. It's so random. I want to take a clipping and have my own plant.
They're tougher to root from cuttings but maybe we need to work on that one this year.
Buy root tone, follow the directions.
