What if the branches you throw away every fall could become an entire backyard orchard by spring?
Most people think growing fruit trees means buying expensive nursery plants. But figs, grapes, currants, gooseberries, elderberries, mulberries, and several other fruits can be propagated from simple hardwood cuttings — sometimes using nothing more than a branch, clean sand, a piece of pipe, water, and one winter of patience.
In this video, I show you the old method my family used to grow fruit plants from cuttings without a greenhouse and without paying nursery prices.
You will learn how to choose the right hardwood cutting, when to take fruit tree cuttings, how to prepare several rooting points along one branch, how to make willow water as a natural rooting hormone, why sand works so well for rooting cuttings, and how to keep cuttings alive indoors through winter.
I also show you how one long cutting can sometimes be divided into several rooted plants after the roots develop.
This method works especially well for figs, grapes, currants, gooseberries, elderberries, mulberries, and pomegranates in warmer climates.
I also explain which fruit trees usually should NOT be propagated this way, including apples, pears, peaches, cherries, and plums, which are normally grafted instead.
If you are building a backyard orchard, edible garden, homestead garden, or self-sufficient garden, learning plant propagation is one of the simplest ways to grow more food without continually buying new plants.
This is especially useful for gardeners interested in growing fruit at home, starting a backyard food garden, expanding a small orchard, growing perennial food plants, saving money on nursery plants, and becoming more self-sufficient.
If you have searched for how to propagate fruit trees from cuttings, how to grow fig trees from cuttings, how to root grape cuttings, how to propagate hardwood cuttings in winter, how to grow fruit trees for free, how to make natural rooting hormone, or how to start a backyard orchard on a budget, this video walks through the process from branch to rooted plant.
Here in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, I normally take dormant hardwood cuttings after the leaves have fallen. Your timing depends on your climate and USDA growing zone, so tell me your state and what fruit you are trying to propagate in the comments.
A branch somebody planned to burn may be several fruit plants waiting to happen.
