Propagating Root Cuttings - Shipmast Locust and more

http://www.edibleacres.org Very simple work flow offered here to take root cuttings of woody perennials (and most likely from a much wider range of plants) and help them begin the process of forming new roots and shoots to grow as copies or clones of the parent plant. In this video we show Shipmast Black Locust root cuttings being processed and set into decent quality potting media to then be stored at warm (70F, 25C, roughly) conditions for a month or more to stimulate callousing and new roots and shoots to form. This is the primary step to get things going, and will allow for the rootlets to then be planted on to garden context or nursery context early in the growing season. The second step can be seen in the video linked below:    • Propagation from roots - Black Locust as e...   - From a year before, but shows how the containers of sprouted root segments look after a few months of warmth.
