As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
This is not my method and is from a thread I found last year and saved and have been doing some research as I intend to propagate some of God's planted fruit trees this year to continue the blessing.
The way I do it is a little time consuming but I get 100% a success rate.First you get get your little jiffy pot ready (the kind of pots made from organic material) cut down the side and to the center drain hole on the bottom to allow you to open it from the side like a book.Find a new shoot on a branch and at the base of the shoot go back 1/2 inch on last years wood ,I then take a sharp knife and cut out a 1 inch section of bark leaving 1/8 inch or more "feeder" section still connecting the main branch to the shoot (this will allow nutrients to continue until the shoot roots).I then make some small nicks on the 1/2 inch section and put IBA rooting powder on that section, open up the jiffy pot and slip it over the branch. I then fill the pot with moist regular potting soil and seal it up by wrapping it with clear plastic wrap. Some varieties root much quicker than others but in about 4 to 6 weeks you should start seeing roots poking through the pot.I have used this method on plum and peach with good results as well.
If you are interested I can try and post some pictures if my description is not clear. Hope this helps!
It appears that #8 powder is about all the high octane which is needed. I will be trying both 16 and 8 to ascertain the results.
I would suggest people try this as this is more cost effective than 60 dollar trees as in most cases, the Minnesota fruiting trees germinated in that cold environment and would probably survive in most of the country.
And no I do not have stock in the company nor get free samples. Just did a search and this was the powder that was used and people liked it.
