Can persimmon trees be propagated by cuttings?

There are many ways to propagate persimmon trees, and the main method of propagation for persimmon trees is grafting, which not only preserves the excellent characteristics of the variety, but also allows for early fruiting, giving the advantage of high yields.

Persimmon tree cutting propagation

Persimmon trees can be propagated by cuttings, and cutting propagation has relatively high requirements for soil. Providing suitable soil can also promote the rooting of cuttings as soon as possible. The soil for cuttings requires loose, breathable, and well-drained soil. Nutritious sandy soil can be used, and a small amount of fertilizer can be applied as base fertilizer. The soil prepared in this way can not only ensure good air permeability but also has nutrition, which is conducive to better growth of persimmons after cuttings.

Persimmon tree cutting time

The best time for persimmon tree cuttings is in spring, from the end of March to the beginning of April. The temperature at this time has warmed up, which is the best season for persimmon growth, so the survival rate of persimmons after cuttings is also relatively high.

Persimmon tree cutting propagation method

The method of propagating persimmon trees by cuttings is relatively simple. You can choose one-year-old or two-year-old, healthy and strong branches, cut them and use them as cuttings. Keep the cut in a triangular shape so that the contact area with the soil is larger, which is conducive to the rooting of the plant. Keep two leaves on the top of the cuttings, preferably with new buds, and remove all the lower leaves to prevent the leaves from being buried in the soil and rotting.
