It feels rewarding to set something in motion in quite a passive way and let time do it's work. A few years ago we planted two each of a number of Honeyberry types that were not inexpensive! We banked up against the stems soil and mulch and sand and mulch and soil and muck and various whatnots over 2-3 growing seasons and in that time the stems put on tons and tons of ropey, healthy roots. Now we can dig up the plants, tease and cut apart a remarkable number of duplicates of the plants, and expand our plantings by 10x or more. No complexity!

Wow! A 16 fold increase in 2 years is a 4 fold increase per year: a 300% (annualized) return on investment, not counting the fruit dividend.

I have been trying to propagate Blueberries by this method. However, I had no idea how long it would take. Only started last Spring and had been wondering why there were no roots yet. So it takes 2 years - that's why! Glad I did right in not giving up and left the soil piled up around the plants. Accidentally, I discovered that my prized young blackcurrants propagate really easily if deeply mulched with moss. (I use moss as a mulch because I love a 'living green mulch' rather than dead-looking woodchip. Moss still does a pretty good job smothering weeds, keeps in the moisture a treat, and breaks down to make an absolutely top class, rich black compost). I only mulched these blackcurrants about 8 months ago, and it was only when I was adding a little more moss around one bush before Christmas that I spotted all these lovely strong white roots growing out of the main stem and into the moss. Checking other blackcurrants, I could see they'd all done the same, all the stems sprouting roots. By the Autumn I should have dozens of new plants to detach and plant in the new border I'm now digging for them.

@edibleacres 2 года назад

Mulching with moss sounds super dream! No wonder they happily rooted. I suspect the blueberries will root nicely with this method, just taking a bit longer for sure.

For your home in Missouri- I have great sucess with Juliet Bush cherries. Our 4 year old bush is 8+ feet tall and 8 feet in diameter. Last week we picked 4 gallons of the best cherries that I have ever grown; and they taste better (sweeter and larger) than our North Star pie cherries on trees. The bush puts out a lot of shoots, so I have 12 more started for myself and friends. We also like the taste of the Juliet better than our Carmine Jewel bush cherry.

@evergreenwindshomestead3835 Год назад

This i great information! I literally did this with my raspberry’s last year by accident. I planted a bunch of bare root raspberries, and piled on mulch. But it was more like dumping wheelbarrows full. Because I was trying to make an extra large area mulched around them. To at some point end up planting more things. Then the darn wild rabbits got to them before I could fence them off. They nibbled them all the way down to the mulch. (Which I had also never gotten around to pulling away from the plants.) I finally got them fenced off, and now I have a ton of shoots coming up! Which I’m perfectly ok with, because I thought I had lost all the plants I paid for. So now I’m glad I didn’t have time to move the mulch away. And I’m really glad the plants had time to get established before the wildlife found them! 🙂

Anything organic should work. The main point is that it holds some moisture and allows roots to form.

Great questions! 1) Most of the shoots you see in this video will fruit THIS YEAR! A few of the smaller ones will be next year. I believe they fruit on 2nd year - perhaps 5th year wood... 2) We will not prune back the bigger ones, instead we'll either pot them up in rich, moist healthy soil or plant them in prime growing conditions with ample water and mulch. They'll establish absolutely fine with the ratios they have They are hardy! They like rich and moist soil, and not absolutely blazing hot sun, but otherwise are EASY!

Stool layering is a VERY common method of getting root stocks for grafting fruit trees. You can search online for ample info on that. There is more nuance to it, it is an annual coppicing routine along with stooling that produces standard commercial rootstocks in many contexts... Good question!

Can you stool raspberries?

Tip layering works better for me with raspberries and blackberries.

Personally I wouldn't try this with raspberries... They sucker and spread by roots below ground and that is by far the easiest way to propagate. Maybe we'll make a video about it!

Know if any good places to purchase a nursery spade that will hold up for a good while? I don’t care for much of the flimsy junk that they pass off as a “tool” these days.

Search for 'king of spades nursery spade' that is the tool type we live by. I got ours from amleo.com but they look sold out right now...

@EdibleAcres I want to grow haskap berries. Actually I am from India and here such variety is not available. Can you please sell me a plant? Meanwhile if you are interested in any Indian varieties, kindly let me know. I can help you by purchasing and shipping to your location.

I'm sorry but we don't ship overseas... I hope you can find something local to you!

Sounds potentially invasive.

They aren't, but there may be value in exploring the idea of 'invasive' when it comes to hardy perennial sources of food and medicine. As fossil fuel explodes in price, supply chains falter and break and the food that is available gets more and more expensive and toxic, there may be immense value in finding 'invasive' allies in the food producing realm to bring into your landscape!
