- Here is a brief video showing 2 methods of propagating hazelnuts. I show how to layer and how to take and root cuttings. Stay tuned, later this summer I will show the results of this process. Thanks for watching.
After watching 4 or 5 videos, finally someone actually made a video propagating hazelnuts. Thanks.
Thank you🫶🏻!!!!!
Great video keep it up.
Nice video. Thanks for sharing this information! I’d like to see a follow up video for the results. God Bless you as well
You're Vera welcome. Im planning a follow-up video, but an injury has set me back for awhile. Once im healed up i plan of doing videos again
Great vid!
Thank you sir!
Great vid. I have an Ennis hazle nut tree that produces some great nuts. Would like to make some copies. Thanks from Australia.
Hello, thank you for the video. What time of the year do you do each method? How thick should the wood be? Is a sucker or can you use branches, too? Should the cuttings have leaves or not? How do you store the pots and when do they go into soil outside?
I start taking cuttings in early summer, and i try to layer in late spring/ early summer, too. I prefer canes the diameter of my pinky finger or smaller
Thank you brother
Thank you! I think I'll go for a huge bach of hazelnut cuttings, because it's already full spring and why not? I hope it will work. Do you think it would benefit from covering the pot with a plastic bag to keep the moisture in? I'm bad at regular watering my plants and for such vulnerable ones I usually prefer to use a plastic cover.
It may. Honestly ive had an issue with mold growth when i cover the trays. Maybe if i crack the lids a bit each day? If you cover yours, please keep me posted on your success or failures. Thank you for watching!
Nice and simple, thank you!
Where I live it's a bit too hot during summer, but there are plenty of hazelnuts about 2 hours drive from here on the mountains, so I'm thinking of trying it with the cuttings.
Can I do this during winter when they're dormant?
I serm to have better luck in the mid spring.
Spring and fall are the times i seem to have the best luck with this type of propagation
@@ashmorearboretum684 thanks 🙏
Good stuff. Can you do the same with most trees or is this just for hazelnut? God bless 👍
Thanks for watching. Some trees are much much more difficult to propagate than others. Not all can be propagated like this unfortunately.
I saw one pop up from a but that a squirrel buried. I wonder if putting some nuts in a propagation box filled with moist sand for 90 days and putting them in the freezer or refrigerator would work? Any ideas?
Yes sir that would work too. Justbmake certain the sand is moist but not wet.
Can you show the result?
Thanks! 👍
Cool video. Have you tried stabbing them in the ground after cutting and scaring them? Also, have you tried doing some longer one's (cuttings)?
Yes, i add a rooting hormone to the fresh scar proor to covering with soil. That is showing about a 70% success rate.
Yes i have just scarified the stem and planted them. I seem not to get as much success like that though.
can the cuttings be taken while the vegetation is dormant and thrown away in the first month, so that they can be stored in the refrigerator and put in vases when the vegetation starts?
Yes they can, but i have had higher success rates with fresh cuttings.
@@ashmorearboretum684 ok
When is the next video?
Soon hopefully.
Does they survive?
Some do and some don't. Just like grafting, there were no guarantees. The addition of rooting hormone helps. This is why when I try to propagate, I do several to increase probability of success. Thank you for your comment, I hope this answers your question.
