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.
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! 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!
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?
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?
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?
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.
