Reallygoodplants.com has a decent selection, but not sure if they ship across the pond.

@ yeah, I had a quick look earlier after I watched your video, seems like they don’t ship outside of the States, unfortunately. They also have some avocado scions too, which wouldn’t have minded.

​@@PeterEntwistleyep! I was interested in some of the mulberry varieties also. Too bad I can't afford to get everything I want at once.

Thank you and God bless you also!

You are correct! I have used the sand before as well as various mixes with potting soil and other components such as peat and/or coco coir. My main personal reason for using the perlite over sand is that it is more lightweight and I have been able to transfer the cuttings out of it with less stress and tearing of the new roots. This of course is just my take on it. I do appreciate your input as others who may see this may see sand as a cheaper, more readily available substrate to use.

@stephendunn4942 Yes, indeed remember people from all over the world watch your channel. Here in Barbados, perlite is kinda expensive. Plus, at one time, there was a shortage on island we couldn't get any from all of the gardening centers.

​@@geriannroth449 And that is why my title included the words, "How I root......". People in different areas of the world, and even in different areas here in the U.S. have to adapt to what they have available. I'm glad to have connected to you in Barbados! It is awesome how the internet can help connect those like us with mutual interest. Do you have quite a bit of fruit trees? What is your favorite?

@@LoganShelton-rh3lp Good luck on your grafts!

@@НатальяПлескач-й5ч Thank you!😊

They are grown from seed so not a particular variety, but the seed was from Suebelle. Hope to graft known varieties on them at some point.

Thank you very much! Hopefully they take! 😊

That is where I saw it also! Hopefully it works for me. I may try it on other species of tree as well. I grafted a pawpaw this year with the method of cutting off the top and doing a cleft graft. The scion died and it seems that the rootstock also died. This may be my answer to that.

I love it!

I do not currently have thermometers in th we greenhouse. I knocked the previous one off the wall and broke it. It is considerably cheaper to order the perlite on Amazon. I do not get paid to promote Amazon, but in the interest of helping others, here is a link to what I get; www.amazon.com/PVP-Industries-PVP105408-120-Quarts/dp/B07S4FTPYB/ref=asc_df_B07S4FTPYB/?tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=692875362841&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=18313621767532257438&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=m&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9027064&hvtargid=pla-2281435182858&psc=1&mcid=4009c6ae2e3432b295a5a4598beb17b0&hvocijid=18313621767532257438-B07S4FTPYB-&hvexpln=73

@LoganShelton-rh3lp Where are you located in Arkansas?

@stephendunn4942 NE of little rock 20 minutes. Right on the line of 7b/8a

Oh and I found a "rat tail cactus" on Amazon they have very large red flowers. Beautiful plant. Already ordered it. I'm running out of things to collect that are manageable size so I have recently gotten into cactus and bonsai.

@@LoganShelton-rh3lp Hoowee! Your probably 4 hrs and a whole grow zone from me.

@@PeterEntwistle Thank you very much!

Thank you!

@@LoganShelton-rh3lp I believe we got down to like 38°F on Oct.13th

@@GardeningWithCoffee Thank you!

I believe it was 78 days. I started the air layer on 8/4/24. I probably could have taken it sooner, but I like to let it get plenty of roots.

Here is the video of me starting the air layer. th-cam.com/video/ELVyfTp5G7Q/w-d-xo.htmlsi=paE1kwaJOd4HcVqU

Very cool.

Right?!?😊

To me, the form they take seems to depend on the way you make through trimming, etc.

@@stephendunn4942 maybe so, but you should see the ones by the rec center, will have to take pix, going on memory.

Thank you!

@peterentwistle Thank you! I hadn't really looked for other videos on the subject, but I figured it should work. Now the hardest part may be actually getting some scions of good varieties to graft on it. Not sure if I want to try something like a cleft graft or a bud graft. I guess mor experimenting is in order. 😊

@@stephendunn4942 I remember stumbling across a US nursery (fruitwood nursery) that occasionally stocked white sapote scions, unfortunately they charge a lot to ship over to the UK, so it's kind of ruled out for me at the moment. I have over a dozen white sapote seedlings growing at the moment. I plan to grow them out until I manage to get hold of some scions to graft onto them. Either that, or I'll just have to see if they will eventually fruit for me in time 🤞

Thanks for the sub!

Glad it was helpful!

The white sapote is a seedling, supposedly of Suebelle. I will hopefully graft a named variety onto it. As I get a few airlayers, I will probably let one grow out to see what it may produce.

@@stephendunn4942 Great idea to graft some named varieties onto it. I'm growing some seedling white sapotes at the moment and I am hoping I'll eventually be able to get a grafted named variety. They are pretty much impossible to source here in the UK. Even scions I've never seen available on this side of the pond. What state and growing zone are you in?

​@@PeterEntwistle I am in Northeast Texas. I have been right on the border of Zone 8a and 8b, but I guess as of this year I am now solidly considered 8b.

Thanks for dropping in! It is currently showing some root tips in the bag, but not enough to cut from mother tree yet.

Here is the most recent video of the White Sapote. th-cam.com/video/UmRbGpziwrA/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CcYlmQQjj2YtDJ2f

Today's update. th-cam.com/video/cDWLt86wjds/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4qfz9rHt3PVLP98d

As of right now (10-9-34) I have 6 plants that survived. A couple of them are in their second set of leaves.

Today's update! th-cam.com/video/cDWLt86wjds/w-d-xo.htmlsi=4qfz9rHt3PVLP98d

They are currently in my greenhouse and will remain there until Spring. Unless they seem to be dead before then.

I currently also have both Trifoliate and Meyer Lemon cuttings that I am trying to root. I have rooted Hamlin orange cutting before.

@@cnjhendricks hopefully something good comes of it!

@@GardenTours_Network Thank you!

Glad it helped

Here is the most recent video of the pawpaws. It has info on the original grafts and new grafts. th-cam.com/video/Fr4ITn4IDEo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=3oHoodLQpkycEcwt

My understanding is that some finicky plants such as citrus can do better with this type of graft. That's why I decided to embark on this experiment. Nothing wagered, nothing gained! 😊

This one gets like half day of sun, but they like full to part.
