One problem with this method: over the decades, we've been selecting the fruiting wood for characteristics like larger fruit/smaller seeds, fruit quality, total yield, etc. Unfortunately, fruiting wood which have those qualities often have weak or disease prone roots. That may be one reason your experiment didn't succeed. So what to do? A good number of fruit trees you'll find available are *grafted* on disease resistant rootstock. Definitely all stone fruit (peach, plum, nectarine, etc) fall into that category. If you're trying to replicate an existing tree, then you should start by rooting 'water sprouts' which form at the base of the tree - below the original graft. Those are coming from the rootstock - a genetically different tree than the fruiting wood, with those disease resistant genetics you desire. Once those are well rooted, graft a scion from the top of the desired tree, and voila, you now have a genetic replica of the tree you started with. The good news is that you still know where that tree is, and with the permission of the new owners you could go back and take a couple snips off it and try again. Good luck with it. By the way, you might want to look into the Texas Fruiting Plant Growers group on Facebook: facebook.com/groups/TXRFG
girl, I didn't know all of that went into taking care of plants! I thought you simply water them and they grow, silly me😄 You are a true plant connoisseur
Peace sis! New friend here! Found your channel looking for help on propagating peach trees from cuttings! Great info! I also saw I you did a video with Chris James who I also subscribe to! I’m really looking forward to binge-watching your content! God bless!
Damm I’m only one year to late maybe the cutting is 4,1 meters high now and loaded good to see you having interesting ideas 💡 later my pizza 🍕 arrived luckily I didn’t hafto wait a year 🍊🍑🍊🤟
This is definitely a sore subject! Only one of them did... The Take Root! But it was broken and upheaved at the new house when my green house flipped during a storm 😣
Great video! Garden Goddess suits you!
Awesome video. Just what I was looking for. Thank you, sis.

Especially if you don`t add 5% of Hydrogen Peroxide to your watering from the start to stop mould. Greetings From Malta - Europe.
I love that tip, I am in Texas too, thanks for the recommendation for that Facebook group. I’ve just submitted application to join. Thank you.

Thank you! This is like advanced plant care but, you right: sow water and sun and you can have the happiest plants ever!
thank you for sharing this. I recommend using coconut coir instead of sand. I also use worm castings.
Hi I just saw your video, great job. Are there any updates on the cuttings???

How long did it take to root, and which rooting hormone worked better?
Does this work with other trees? Like a pear tree?
If you buy a tree from a nursery its 100% going to do good in your area because they did there homework…. 👀
How did this work out?
Did the peach trees root?
This is definitely a sore subject! Only one of them did... The Take Root! But it was broken and upheaved at the new house when my green house flipped during a storm 😣
