Good idea, I'll give it a shot!

Ours took 10 or 11 weeks, but I've seen other sites state 8 weeks.

@Dr.Ahmed.Algharib I think it was potting soil with a little compost (and a little extra perlite for good drainage so the roots wouldn't rot from being too moist). That was my usual soil mixture back then. The main thing is to provide good drainage.

@@HappyLifeFoodForest thank you so much

You are very welcome

@@HappyLifeFoodForest i try but unfortunately it's not working

@Dr.Ahmed.Algharib how often do you water them? And are they in a shady spot?

The main thing is that the soil is well drained so the roots don't rot from holding too much moisture.

@@Mscircle2024 we love our mulberries!

Thank you!

Thank you!

My apologies. We did so many videos showing how to airlayer that we thought it would be repetitive. It is the same process as in our Camellia air layer video. But we will include the actual airlayering in future videos. Thanks for your input.

@@lancecorporalveteran0621 it is about 12 ft tall. I trimmed in the winter, but I will have another pruning soon. I don't like having to climb a ladder to get my berries, but I don't want to prune too much at one time.

@HappyLifeFoodForest How old is it and what's the average growth rate because I was under the impression that blue berry's only grow as big as a bush not much taller than a few feet.

@@lancecorporalveteran0621 lowbush blueberry varieties stay short, 2 ft, and highbush varieties get up to 12 ft tall like mine. This one came with the property, so I'm not sure how old it is.

@@HappyLifeFoodForest thank you

@@user-bu8hm4tm5m What a great idea!! 😀

@@JCC_1975 Happy growing to you, too! I love root crops that are easy to grow.

@@marycrosiar5571 You are just the sweetest! You made my day 💛

@@DrnajeebAhsan I went through all of the steps in the video. I hope it helps you.

@@HappyLifeFoodForest thanks I might have missed it

@@DrnajeebAhsan I did not know what tank you were referring to, but I know I put all my repair steps in the video. I hope you have a happy day!

I don't mind sharing with a few caterpillars and butterflies. However, this was an infestation that was eating all the leaves and interfering with flowering and fruiting, which was the reason I planted the passion fruit.

@@amyg.6071 Yes, except for the bird that got smart enough to hop under it. It's not pretty, but I got to eat my berries 😀

Perfect. Birds got 75% of my berries this year. Was skeptical about the netting. Glad it worked. I’ll try this next season. Thanks!

@@HappyLifeFoodForest wow that's so great! My neighbor's overgrown invasive weeds are more than I can combat from my side. Thank you, be well!

We always use partial shade.

@@HappyLifeFoodForest Thank you.

Thank you! It takes longer to root jujube than most of my other plants. But I get excited to see roots! (I get just as excited to see roots on my fig cuttings). You keep rooting any cutting that you can; it's the cheapest way to make new fruit trees, and they make fruit long before trees planted from seed.

Thank you for the wonderful comment ❤️. I wish you a wonderful harvest and a safe and happy life.

I don't earn any money. It is not click bait. These were my cuttings with roots. End of story.

Thanks!

We always use sphagnum moss when we can find it. It works great.

I love your story.That is so sweet! Terry is getting out and snacking more when we are outside.

That is a great idea. Thank you!

I'm so happy for you! We have 8 or 9 varieties now (some are young). I'm excited to see some little fruits for the first time this year!!

I just keep mine crowded, but the ones that get the most sun do get bigger.

I had them inside during the cold weather, then put them outside under the gazebo when it was warmer. I didn't really have a plan for sun vs no sun.

@@HappyLifeFoodForest That's great. Congratulations! You have a 50% success rate. That's not bad at all. I bought 5 cions and planted the bare sticks in vermiculite. Now each of them has leaves growing. It has been 8 days so far and the tallest grew at least 1 inch, and the late bloomer just budded. I heard many people say they would grow leaves, and then die, so I don't know what to expect yet. Did the three that didn't make it have any leaf at all initially?

Leaves grew fairly quickly, but not all of them rooted. I prefer clear containers now so I can see the roots when they grow past the coco coir. That way, I don't disturb the roots by checking too soon. It is so hard to wait, but you just have to give them time.

Thank you! And Hello! Sorry for the delay in replying (I demolished my phone). It was a cool experiment, and I'm looking forward to trying more of them.

Bacillus thuringiensis. Bonide, Monterey and probably other brands make it.

Those blooms make the best tea! And they make salads and cakes so pretty.

You're welcome. I hand-pollinate in spring until I see plenty of bees around to do the job. It always seems like they sleep in until summer these past couple of years.

😆 by now, we have planted so many different host trees for so many butterflies. I try to pick them off or wash them off, but when every leaf has one or more chomping away...aargh!!

I'm happy this helped you.

I paid $40 for mine 😳 They had another one there that looked sad. I should have asked for a discount and planted it in one of my large containers. It's a large terra cotta pot, so I'm not sure if it would do well in it. What do you think? Maybe I can call them and get the discount lol.

They grow slowly. It should do great in a terracotta pot. Mine seems to do well with mild fertilizers. And they seem to be able to bounce back well. Just prune those roots if it is rootbound. We took forever to separate all the roots (Twice 😆).

North Florida zone 8b/9a. We are right at that line.

Great! I'm holding off for another 2 weeks to make sure they get their 80°F days that they seem to love.

@@HappyLifeFoodForest we've been having our 80s for about a week now. Have you had malabar spinach grow for you?

Yes, but that one I got as a rooted cutting. I really liked the flavor.

Thank you! That's great news.

Thank you! It's so wonderful that you found my video ❤️

We used the least expensive, pre-mixed, white pool paint we could find from Home Depot. Cannot remember the brand. It worked great.

Thank you! That is so sweet of you to say. 💖

Those GA 866 cuttings in coco coir took 8 weeks to root. I am going to take some cuttings from a few varieties other than GA-866 this year and try to root them to see how long they take (like most plants, different varieties root at different rates, some root easier than others). Don't give up on them!

PS. Figs are EASY to root compared to jujube (most show roots by 5 weeks), but some fig varieties can take 3 months to see roots. I like clear containers so I can see their roots when they show up without having to disturb the pot. Best wishes.

They should give fruit. I am hopeful for this year, maybe? But probably won't have fruit until next year. I will give an update when I get fruit, for sure!

So how old r the cuttings ?

I started rooting them about 2 1/2 yrs ago. 3 out of 6 rooted well and survived. I only have 2 of them left because I stepped on one not long after it went in the ground and killed it. 😞

I think you're right about the humidity. We only use leaves now for our chop and drop because cut stalks root so easily.

Thank you. It was a young tree. I have noticed that one of our new Pakistani mulberry started out with tiny leaves, but now they are larger.

I would rather be outside with our plants than working inside any day! I hope you have been doing well over the winter.

Thank you. We definitely feel blessed, and we will update you on the moringa/drumstick trees. I hope you have a wonderful day!

Thank you 😊
