Softwood cuttings, leaf cuttings,
air-layering, cane cuttings and division may all be done in spring.
It also takes longer than
air-layering or cutting as grafting needs to start with preparing seedlings of the rootstock, which takes around a year from seed sowing to when seedlings are ready to use.
'But you can also make it from a cutting,
air-layering on a large tree or selecting a plant from the nursery,' he said.
Asexual propagation methods include cutting, budding, grafting and
air-layering (Wilson, 1920).
Such techniques include cuttings,
air-layering, budding, and grafting.
If the branch will not reach the ground, the method to use is
air-layering. The old way of doing that was to nick the branch and bind compost round it, but it is much quicker and easier with the new Rooter-Pot, which holds compost in position and clips round the branch.
