Can cherry trees be propagated by cuttings?

There are many methods of propagating cherry trees, such as seedlings, cuttings, and layering. The most commonly used methods now are cuttings and layering. After cuttings, the temperature must be controlled at around 20 degrees to make the cherries grow rapidly.

Cherry tree cutting propagation

Cherry trees can be propagated by cuttings. Before cutting, choose a piece of land suitable for cherry growth. Generally, choose a place with loose and fertile soil, and it is best if the soil has good drainage around it. Then use a hoe to slightly till the ground, and then plant the cuttings into the soil. This will allow the cherry tree to grow better after cuttings.

Cherry tree cutting time

Cherry tree cuttings are generally carried out in spring, when the temperature begins to rise slowly, and the survival rate of cherry trees after cuttings is higher. If cuttings are carried out in summer, the temperature is too high, which can easily breed bacteria and affect root growth. In autumn and winter, it is easier to frostbite the plants, reducing the survival rate.

Cherry tree cutting propagation method

The cutting propagation method of cherry trees is relatively simple. Choose a healthy cherry tree without diseases and insect pests, cut a woody branch about 15 cm long from it, remove the leaves at the base of the branch, and only keep the top 3-5 leaves. The incision should be cut into an oblique surface to increase the contact area with the soil, which is more conducive to rooting.
