Cherry tree propagation #802283

Asked July 21, 2022, 7:01 AM EDT

I recently tried to propagate a cherry tree using growth hormones. I have helped other in propagation but never done a frit tree Im worried they won't make it? Or maybe I'm not giving these babies enough time and the unhappy leaves are just part of the process? Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for your time! Ryan

Propagation from cuttings for fruit trees can be challenging. I have attached the "Propagating Fruit Trees" fact sheet from Cornell University to this email. While it is REALLY old, it is still considered one of the best references for the topic.

Here is a link to another university site, as well:
