Stool Beds: How to propagate hazelnuts and other trees clonally on their own roots
You can propagate hazelnuts, chestnuts, and many other kinds of trees using stool beds! We use this method for clonal propagation, creating "self-rooted" trees, similar to layering. The resulting nursery stock is true to the named variety, and will be quick to produce nuts (or fruit) - unlike trees grown from seed. Since they are on their own roots, there is no risk of graft failure or incompatibility.

How to grow and harvest hazelnuts (filberts) at home, successfully!
zhlédnutí 73KPřed rokem
Growing hazelnuts (filberts) at home or on a small farm can be easy, but it's different from how it's done on large commercial nut orchards. We grow our hazelnuts as multi-stemmed bushes, not as trees with a single trunk. This allows us to harvest them by hand as soon as they are ripe, before the jays and squirrels have a chance to strip the trees. Unlike other nuts, hazelnuts ripen in summer, ...

    your video just popped up in my feed as so much stuff do, but this is one of these I knew instinctively that I had to see. And I was not dissapointed. I just got my own homestead with 2 ha of land and one of the first things I did was to buy three hazelnuts from a local nusery and I want to propagate them myself, and with this I feel I got enough knowledge to pursue that goal. Putting a ring of wire near the base is simply ingenious, what a smart thing.

    • @siriuscowking8615
      @siriuscowking8615 Před měsícem

      As long as there's enough root attached to the sucker it should work, just remember that the variety of apple produce will be the one from the root, you may want to graft on it for another kind of apple. This guy also has a great grafting video

    • @burntridgenursery591
      @burntridgenursery591 Před měsícem

      Make sure the suckers are coming from above the graft. If they're coming up from below the graft, then they're rootstock suckers.

    I managed to nab some large hazelnuts (what I grew up calling filberts) and they were already brown. I thought it was odd that no squirrels had gotten them yet. I wanted to try growing some more trees. But for some reason the seeds inside were not fully developed. I'm bummed. Does make me wonder if the squirrels somehow knew they were bad. lol I figured they had just not finished up with the large English walnut trees.
