So, the protocol for root formation was: 1. Obtain cutting 2. Apply commercial rooting compound treatment 3. Plant in soil aggregate medium (1:1 Perlite:humus(?)) 4. Wait 2 months (with great music) ? :) Thanks. Are there more efficient ways to stimulate rooting?
Do you remember what was the average air temperatures the cuttings were kept in? Should I do mine in a warm place, or can I do this outside in the cold and them do ok once the spring temperatures begin?
Our goal was to transfer the cutting as fast as possible from the plant to a potting media, otherwise the cutting could dessicate and lose too much water. Ideally, the cutting from the original plant could be done outside, but should be put in a warm place with high humudity to make sure the cuttings don't lose too much water while it produces roots
Mitch Gillilan just FYI... I bought some rooting hormone at Lowe’s for $5 and it works AMAZINGLY with propagating hydrangeas... about to give it a try with these!
@@BeccaSteeleChannel I tried doing 60 yew cuttings this winter and they all died, and I used hormone powder. Maybe I will try it on new growth this summer I tried it on all woody 2nd year growth and it was cold in my greenhouse, probably why they didnt make it. :(
I have propagated yew just without the hormone and in z5 (Estonia). They are certainly cold-tolerant because they at dormant in winter. For first winter I kept them in a greenhouse (you can use coldframe) with windows open to ensure a stable temperature inside the greenhouse while avoiding over-humidification from snow or rain. I lost some, but about 80% rooted. However, proper rooting took one season and they did not show proper growth before third season (this year). I replanted them in the second year, but they did not show much growth in that year.
@@mitchgillilan probably easier to check underneath your tree to find some seedlings. A lot of those seeds sprout on their own. I just dug up like 15. Some are crazy tiny, like 4cm, and didn't seem like they were ready to be disturbed, but they are putting new growth in a pot
Bravo! Thank you for posting! Good info. Greetings from the Mojave Desert!
Great video with date for timing.
Thank you for good info!
Старался,молодец👍💪
Very good sir.
Scarafiy the stem, this helps greatly
So good.

Hello guys, this video was helpful. Where I could find more tips from your experiments ?
Oh no, Jazz...
Thank you
Is it possible to root a 5 foot cutting? Thanks
H,i is it possible to take yew cuttings successfully without the root hormone? Will I have any success at all?

@@BeccaSteeleChannel can you name the hormone or company who make it and the season of cutting? Thanks

These videos never say when to take cuttings. Yew should be taken in winter.
