your video just popped up in my feed as so much stuff do, but this is one of these I knew instinctively that I had to see. And I was not dissapointed. I just got my own homestead with 2 ha of land and one of the first things I did was to buy three hazelnuts from a local nusery and I want to propagate them myself, and with this I feel I got enough knowledge to pursue that goal. Putting a ring of wire near the base is simply ingenious, what a smart thing.
Thank you for sharing this information! I have a number of hazelnuts that are just about the perfect stage for doing this. I'm thinking I'll cut some of them back this fall and give it a try in the spring. As I operate my own sawmill, I produce a fair bit of sawdust.
Very interesting method. I wish you had shown us exactly how you girdle the suckers. Is it just wrapping really tight or does the wire have to score the wood and expose the pith?
Twist the wire back onto itself so it tightens, like closing a plastic bread bag with a wire twist tie. That will be enough to prevent the cambium from growing further, and will gradually girdle the suckers during the growing season. The sucker will naturally form roots above the girdle point as long as it's surrounded by moist medium like soil or sawdust.
Nice video. Inspiring to keep going in my own work. I wonder if you’ve ever have tried willow water as a rooting enhancement. I had the idea while watching that the water could be poured on as a top dressing after the girdle and mound is in place.
Another great video. For newly rooted chestnuts trees i would probably grow them in a nursery under 30% shade cloth for one year before planting in full sun in a field. If planting in a partially shaded location you can probably get away with directly planting in the ground.
Are you leaving a certain number of stems to feed the root system or are you harvesting all the suckers. Also, what month of the year are you harvesting your rooted susckers. Thanks for the video!!
So something like what you showed us here can be used with apple trees? I have a apple tree that I must have planted too deep and it is suckering. If I dig up some of those suckers they will produce trees? gotta try this. Also will be trying to get some wild hazel nut trees to produce suckers for me. Great video with great information. Thank you.
As long as there's enough root attached to the sucker it should work, just remember that the variety of apple produce will be the one from the root, you may want to graft on it for another kind of apple. This guy also has a great grafting video
I have successfully planted filbert hazelnut from planting seeds. So buy some raw nuts and leave some in the refrigerator for a few months before planting them.
A hazelbert is a cross between the Eastern bush hazel and a European hazel. For clonal propagation, they can be propagated in the same method of stool bed layering.
I spend so much money at this place every year!! Best nursery ever.
Money well spent.
Real self care 💚
Me too. I've had alteast 4-5 orders this spring and summer. Will have a big one this fall
Really good information that's not easily found elsewhere.

Good stuff, I want to retire and work with this guy.
Again,, fantastic!
VERY helpful and informative. Thanks.

I'm so encouraged by this vlog, going to have a go myself. Thank you
I hope yall have a bunch of videos ready to upload!

Cool! I have one of your beaked hazelnuts

so interesting 😮❤
Amazing info!
Great lesson. Can the layering and girdling methods also be done on hawthorn?

I was curious about both of those things, too.
Thank you! Lovely to see. 🤗
Interesting thank you great video.
Love Burnt Ridge Nursery
Will it work for all-in-one almond trees too? Thanks
First video of yours I have seen. Nice! How tight do you make the wire girdling? Thanks.
As tight as you can get it, so that the wire can't move. The tighter it is, the sooner roots will start.

Make sure the suckers are coming from above the graft. If they're coming up from below the graft, then they're rootstock suckers.
New shoots like that from a willow tree are used in a fertiler recipe, for the soil.
Thanks for the great video! Have a question. How are Hazelberts propagated? Are they stool layered or bred from 2 specific parents?
I have successfully planted filbert hazelnut from planting seeds. So buy some raw nuts and leave some in the refrigerator for a few months before planting them.
@@youtuudodo I have some hazelbert trees, just wondering what the official method of propagation was :) TY
A hazelbert is a cross between the Eastern bush hazel and a European hazel. For clonal propagation, they can be propagated in the same method of stool bed layering.
@@burntridgenursery591 Thank you! I knew that only another hazelbert could pollinate and get nuts, so wondered the specifics of propagation.
Watching Jimi Hendrix brought me here.
Ty Sir! :))
I thought stool bedding would involve fertilizing the soil with ones stools 💩
Silly me
Now I see what I was doing wrong
