First hardwood cuttings (lemmy.world)

After only 2 weeks 4 of my 5 hardwood apple tree cuttings already have a little bit of root growth!

It's not much, I could joke and say you need a microscope to see it and not be far off but it feels like such an accomplishment and a little like magic.

It's my first time propagating from cuttings and I'm absolutely amazed that I essentially stuck some sticks in dirt and they're turning into trees.

This is so cool! Nature is rad

Apples aren't all that easy to root so congrats. Figs, grapes, mulberries and some other fruit are almost trivial to root with good technique

It's a great feeling for sure. Nice work!
