Growing Citrus From Cuttings: How To Keep A Tree You Love
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 30 апр 2016
- When my friend told us that she was moving we were a little sad. She was sad too, but for more than just that... she had to leave her beloved Key Lime tree behind. I have had some success with propagating fruit trees so I wanted to see if I could help her take this tree with her.
UPDATE!! It is NOT a good idea to move citrus around the state!
Is is a bad idea to move citrus around Texas and in California. Citrus in Florida has been pretty much wiped out by a disease called citrus greening or huanglongbing or HLB. See:
www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2...
The economic damage in Florida is in the billions of dollars and thousands of people have lost their jobs.
The disease is 100% fatal and exists in Texas and is threatening citrus farmers and homeowners all over the state:

We still have a chance in Texas and California if people do not spread the disease.
People moving trees around spreads the disease much faster than insects. Here is a video • Grafting Citrus Trees ... that demonstrates how to graft with disease free budwood ordered from the Kingsville Citrus Center at Texas A&M University: kcc-weslaco.tamu.edu/budwood.html

Along with my success I wanted to see if we could up the percentages on getting this special tree propagated successfully. I found this RUclips video that steps through propagating citrus by cuttings.

In my demonstration I'm pretty much using this method because I believe it will help make this task successful.

![Lemon Tree: How to take Cuttings to Copy and Clone a Lemon Tree [Sporktime in the Garden]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/FE0-Z5Fw4NI/mqdefault.jpg)
Here are a couple tricks I've found that work awesome for me. I use large yogurt or cottage cheese cups for my pots. They are easy and durable. And rather than using a plastic bag I use the top half of a 2 liter coke bottle. If you leave the cap off you won't get molds and mildews buy they fit great and work as a perfect humidity dome. I only have to water every 2-3 days and have 90% or better growth rates with these. They are magic for hobby gardeners
I wonder. With this method, is it true that they won't take as many years to bear fruit as with citruses planted from seed? And if it's true, how long will they normally take.
@@EddoPanamenyo Original fruits tree grown from seeds takes 7-8 yrs to bear fruit, By using this method from cuttings but not seeds takes only 3-4 yrs to bear fruits.. *Thumbs Up*
@@lilygen913 oh interesting, ty so much. So the fastest way it's definitely an air layer
Thank you. The explanation was detailed. You are the first farmer from whom we understand the method of irrigation. I repeat my thanks to you
This is the most helpful, logical demonstration I've seen on cutting. It makes sense to peel off the skin on the bottom to speed up the rooting process. I love your teachings, you know your stuff. thank you so much. Subscribed.

Theresa Chalmers ,
We have this problem right now. I was going to air layer but have run out of time, things moved along faster for us.. We are getting colder here and only have the water heater to use for heating. I could set each pot up with a dripper of warm water drain it then recycle it. I expect I may need to tent it all to keep the top of the cuttings moist.
Thank you! Very informative. Can i use the same method for other cuttings like crab apple?
Not a wasted second in this video. Thanks for the great tips! I tried this before with not much success because I missed out a lot of key steps you demonstrated. This is great knowledge to have, thank you! Have a great day! :D
+xphilli Give it another shot and let me know how it goes :)
I’m glad I found your video. I learned a lot from it and will be trying it on a calamondine tree. Thank you very much for this excellent video!
This is the best video I’ve seen. He explains this perfectly simple so you can actually understand it. Thank You so much 😊
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for sharing your ideas. You are awesome!
Love the simplicity of your video
You can get some rooting hormone like dip n grow and take like 20 cuttings dip them all and place them in 1 large pot with some soil in it. Give them a 30-45 days and dump the plant out. Take all the cuttings that rooted and put them in there own little pots or place them in the ground.
If you have more plants with roots then you need take the healthiest looking plants and pot them or give the extras away. Doesn't hurt keeping more then you need as it's fairly common to lose a couple here and there when you finally transplant them into the ground. I highly suggest letting them live in a large pot for a few months as it gives them more time to establish a healthy rooting system and if worst comes to worst and you have some die back when you plant them you have less to risk.
I personally prefer to fertilize the plant with something along the lines of 0-10-10 that way the plant doesn't become leggy and tries to grow up. The lack of nitrogen promotes more root growth which is what I personally look for myself. I've had more success targeting the root system first and focusing on vegetation growth the second year. It's just what has worked for me in the past as plants tend to die back a little when you transplant them. If the rooting system can't hardly support itself in the best of conditions it will have a much harder time doing so if your root system starts to die off.
Beautiful description. Thank you :)
hello, I have a question, please help, what is better, plant from seed or plant from cutting ??? I would appreciate your answer.
GamesPlay cutting if you're to anxious. seeds take a long time to become a tree..
@@GreplayTv For figs, if you propagate, you get the exact same plant and fruit; from seeds, you may not get the same fruit. So, it depends.
@@GreplayTv truee.. the seed might hold another genotype from one of the parents, so the probability to get the exact tree as the parent is not really high.. cutting makes sure that u get 100 percent same as it is a clone!
LOVE your teaching,thank you montreal canada here
+Burt flynn thank you:)
I was just thinking about this and when I came home I found your video - perfect timing!
+Zakke87 Yay! good. I hope it works out well for you.
@@daddykirbs .
your description is so easy n simple, many thx
THANK YOU!! I followed your video and my cutting is already leafing!!!
Gonna give it a try! So excited!
Thank you for teaching very informative...
Good job! I used this method for many plants
+Catalin Oancea Knowing that you do this method helps me know that I'm on the right track! Thanks :)
I just had to subscribe you have been helpful to me. There is a tree I really love and I did not want to loose it anyone good one 🤗
This really works! I tried this with my Asian pear cuttings. I took 4-5 cuttings to make sure I see roots from a few.
How did u do it im trying to do a pear too, did u do same thing as this guy
@@Imflightmode I tried same way as the video. Also, I took cuttings and put in a milk jug and filled 2 inches water after a week the cuttings will have white sprouts all over. Then take cuttings and plant.
Your's the best method I searched so far, also Canada here. I'm going to try that on my oversized Osmanthus plant.
Try air layering wayyyyyyy better than cuttings if it’s your own tree
Good info. I just got several clippings from my brothers lemon tree. I’m hoping they root.
Hi, can i pull the cutting out after two days, if my cutting does not have a node in the soil just stem and redo it? Thanks
awesome!! thank you I love yr clear explanation greetings from Somaliland
I'm glad it helped :)
Thank you for this awesome info but what I want to know is how often you water after you put em on the pot of soil?
Thank you so much in advance for the response 😊❤️😊
excellent video , very clear and concise ,
This video is awesome. Will definitely be trying this.
Awesome video. I learned a bunch! Thank you!
Nice info good video. Beautiful Neighbor ☺️
i have tried this method to propagate my sweetlime but due to a cover bag fungi develop on stems. Have you also seen fungi in this method ?
thank you for your video, when is the best time of the year to take a cutting to propagate?
I have a Kaffir lime tree that my Indonesian wife loves and uses the leaves for cooking. She keeps stripping off more leaves than she should and there's never enough for her. I only had success one time before with cuttings from a chrysanthemum plant, just experimenting. Thank you for this informative video and for inspiring me to try it again with her lime tree. She's been wanting me to do so but I've been telling her how difficult it is and putting it off. Last time I tried to do it I used the newest growth, thinking it would be fresher. I have rooting powder, but it several years old. Do you think this stuff loses its potency after a while ? Thanks for the great video !
What kind of mix do you use to plant your cuttings in?
very nice demonstration. thanks a lot
are you awesome. I will surely this this. Keep up the good work !!!
When it comes to cuttings make as many as you can. Don't rely on just one
Hey greeting from India, I want to ask a question can we grow lemon cutting during spring (mid Feb to April) time?
will this dwarf a plant? I have a seedling of a lemon, and im not sure how to get the proper root stock to dwarf the future tree.
More good information Blake. Best wishes Bob.
+Bob Lt (BobMel's Gardening) Thank you Sir!
Thanks a lot buddy , please write down for me the powder root hormone, I really appreciate it
Great video. I followed your advice and tried 4 grapefruit cuttings. They've been in the containers about a week. The leaf in each one is starting to turn yellow. Is that a problem and is there anything i can do to fix it?
*Shoni is great, I wonder what else he used the lime for indoors*
I just tried it hope, let's hope it works! Fingers crossed!
Is that root hormone food safe? The one I have is only safe for the plants I don't consume. Are there different types? Thanks for the help!
if i cant find that root poweder what can i use
Blake , Thanks very much, This will be a must try for me . Can you also do this growth with Avocado cuttings ? ? .
I've never done anything with Avocado except put it on my tacos :) ... it's worth a try though!
Thank you for another tip to try. I've tried a dozen or two attempts in the past (watching other videos) and your method sounds promising. When IS the best time of year (or growth cycle) to try this? 2 of my 3 grow indoors so their growth cycle is "off" compared to outdoor trees.
Hello!
I tried exactly this method but my branch after 10-20 days was make fluffy and mould a lot! i dont know what to do!
Great video, if you are starting in a green house do you still use the plastic bag?
Great info. There are so, many technishe in cutting to learn from. This is not what I learn from the 80 and 90 in school growing up.
+yack f zay There are many ways to do it. I'm hoping this method ups the percentage of success :)
Very informative video! Can anyone give me some advice with doing the same thing from a mature citrus tree that doesn’t have branches at the bottom? I have a friend that has a 7 year old caracara tree. A&M university created this citrus using grapefruit and oranges. Looks like a grapefruit but it’s very sweet and one of my favorite fruits.
Thank you!
Please kindly tell me what kind of powder you used for your rooting.
So how long will this take to give fruits, will it grow like a grafted trees give fruit from small?
How long does it take for the roots to appear?
What rooting powder do you recommend?
please what's the name of the rooting powder?
Helpful video! Question though, ive heard different opinions about the bag method(or similar mini greenhouse)...does it need air circulation or holes to prevent molding? Ive had molding problems in the past.
Michelle Furst Yes you need a place to allow some air to that in or the mold will form
woooooow dude have an incredible blood orange and incredible heritage mandarin and an incredible lemon tree - I am selling my house and because of your vid I am going to take 10 of each with me - many many thanks dude.
Gracias Buen Video. Good Video Thanks. ? We Can use the Same Method like this video to Root Guava Clippings ?
I have no experience with Guava, but I sure would try it!
Hey love this, cuttings always amaze me! One thing i wanted to point out is that not all cuttings will produce the exact tree you got them from. I don't know about lime trees but lots of fruit trees are grown using different root stocks. So The cutting will produce the same fruit but will not necessarily produce the same tree if original tree was on a dwarf root stock or a root stock that was designed for dryer conditions or whatever the root stock was on the original tree the new tree will not match up. Like if you rooted a cutting from a dwarf red delicious apple the new tree could be a 30 foot tall red delicious apple tree instead of 10 feet tall. Thanks again for your movies.
+EdensGardenShed Very good point. I should have clarified that the fruit will be the same. Thanks :)
+Blake “Daddykirbs” Kirby You were on point with everything else i like your method with the bag over cup going to try that sometime for sure.
+EdensGardenShed Thanks! I'm very accustomed to making mistakes. I'm glad that was my only one in this video! LOL
hi, you forgot to mention if you do have the option what is the best time of year to take a cutting, in Australia by the way
I am planning on collecting cuttings from a citrus tree. How long should I keep the cutting growing inside my house before moving them outside?
When they have a good root system. This isn't easily put in terms of days or weeks. It will depend on light, temps and the vigor of your stock.
Is it still safe to make hole with oily finger then? Heard a little saliva can stimulate rooting as well.
Which temperature is best for rooting. ?
Great video, thanks very much for showing us.
+Petals on the Paving Slabs You're welcome. Give it a try and let me know how it goes :)
hi, do we always cut the cutting from the leaf nod and also the way you are doing ( Peeling around the cutting ) do we need to do with all kind of tree cuttings like ( fruits ), thx
You can do this without peeling the bottom. I was just trying to maximize the root potential. It works both ways.
Thank you for the great tips..
Thank you ! You explained it very clearly .
I just whant to learn cause i love nature and i go around and collect fruit trees
My mom cut a branch off of her hibiscus tree and I want to keep it alive. Will putting plant nutrients in some water and putting the branch in it work?
what kind of powder are you using?
I did this on the tree here in Southeast Texas last night. I didn't know the time of year and day made a huge impact on success of rooting. I didn't use a rooting compound either but I'm truly hoping for success. I am curious about how long it would take or should take before roots take place? I was thinking 8-10 days because propagated a mimosa tree like this last year and it took 7 days before I could cut it from the tree and repot it. Now, I'm not too sure about this. Anyone know?
Do you need any holes in the bag
Will it work without powder?
How long till the clone bare fruit?
wonderful , thank you for great tip !
+Gate Tres good luck!
DANG, THIS IS EXTREMELY INFORMATIVE!!!
Will this work for orange trees as well? Sorry I'm a beginner at gardening
should i always leave water in the plate ?
This is a very helpful and informative vidio
Hi but if we dont have i dont kown how say it (the white product) how will do it explain plz
Thank you so much...🙏🙏
Great video. Let us know how the cuttings did Blake. Thank you and take care.
+Larry342516 I will do updates in the future. We will be doing plenty of cuttings from this tree :)
What' s the rooting hormone that you are using, please? IBA?
Hi Blake! I'm trying to root an ash tree, do you think this method would work? An old family tree fell during a storm this week and I'm trying to find a way to preserve it.
I feel like it should work, but I've never dealt with an Ash tree before. Take lots of cutting. The success rate can be low for any type of tree so increase your odds of overall success by rooting a lot of them :) I'd love to hear that it works!
I absolutely love this video
It has been 3 weeks, and my cuttings are turning brown at the top. Can i cut the brown off and put honey at the ends?
How often do you water it?
U need to make sure taking a very low cutting like that. It could easily be off the root stock. I just cut 3 large root stock growths off one of my Citrus trees. Generally I’ve always been told “ Always only take Citrus cuttings from the very top of a Citrus trees” 🤔
is it possible to just plant a branch snipped from a kumquat tree, and have it grow on it’s own like that?
Thank you
great video thanks
I transplanted a yellow lemon tree and it started to dry out. All the leaves fell out and the branches dried out but the main trunk is still green. Should I cut all the branches and leave the main trunk? I have very little hope that it'll live but do you think that would work?
+5k you could prune it down and let it try... it may surprise you :)
hi, i am in Ontario Canada, which season is the best for Growing Citrus From Cuttings, as its short summer, thx
The Citrus will most likely need to be indoors most of it's life up there so I'd pick a good south facing window and just go for it whenever you have the cuttings :)
Sir plz name of this powder
Which rooting hormone is best for edible plants ?? Please tell me anyone.
Did it take?
Really great
Does the Calamansi tree grow from cuttings produce fruits?
