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.

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

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
