To multiply trees yourself - that's how it works
Many trees can be multiplied with little effort, instead of buying them for a lot of money in a garden center or in the nursery. However, it takes a while for big cuttings or seedlings to become big trees. Therefore, you need patience - and tact, because not every seed or twig becomes a real tree.
Propagate deciduous trees
Domestic deciduous trees can be easily collected in the spring, because then grow small and larger seedlings of oak, maple, beech, chestnut, linden, etc. out of the ground everywhere. You only need to carefully dig out the young plants and plant them in the designated place in the garden. Furthermore, many deciduous trees can be multiplied by seeds - but be careful that they are exposed to a cold spell. Without frost, the germ inhibition can not be broken and the rearing fails. With the help of cuttings you can reach a new deciduous tree faster (and easier) than with seeds. Here's how to do it:
Furthermore, the propagation of deciduous trees also succeeds in lowering and pegs.
Propagation of fruit trees
Although apple, pear, cherry and plum also belong to the deciduous trees, you will not gain any true seed fruit trees from a seed multiplication. For a rich harvest of tasty fruit you need to cut shoots for use as a precious rice. Finally, fruit trees are sorted only on the Okulation or another form of refinement pulled. You place the noble variety on a seedling of a suitable wild fruit, because this is often more robust and vigorous than the desired variety itself. Only peaches and nectarines are often varietal, d. H. They can also be propagated by cuttings or sowing.
Multiply conifers
Rearing a conifer from seeds is a tedious affair. It is easier to pull this out of cuttings. And that is how it works:
Tips
If you cut cuttings from a deciduous tree, it should have a maximum of four leaves. If these are very large, halve them with the knife and reduce the evaporation and thus the loss of precious water.
