I've had a lot of successes and a lot of failures. One thing that I'm not good at is chip budding, which is the main type of grafting done to propagate trees in the prunus genus during June and July. I've also had bad luck with late winter bench grafting with this group.

I would like to find out if I could grow peaches, European/Japanese plums and  sweet/pie cherry trees from cloned cuttings using a cloning machine, such as the Turbo Klone shown in the photo earlier in this thread. I've never used one of these machines before, but I've watched a video or two where the grower said that a hydroponic system like Turbo Klone would grow cloned trees from the prunus group.

Has anyone on here had success with these cloning machines like the turbo klone? I'm especially interested if John Read had success with the clones in the photo. I'll also try sending him a purple mooseage and see what happened with his clones.

The only thing ive been able to root is potato slips (easy and not necessary to use ezcloner) and figs. All the plums and citrus etc have just rotted... Idunno if im doing something wrong or its just not the way...

Hi there, I'm a 40-year-old man, and I thought I'd take a chance and put myself out there. I guess you could call me a permaculturist. I recently lost my wife to cancer, and it’s been tough not having someone to share life with. I have three amazing kids—12-year-old daughter, 10-year-old son, and 8-year-old son—and while I have just about everything I could want, I miss that personal connection.

I'm unvaccinated and keep fit with my own home gym that has everything you’d need for a solid workout. I also cold plunge on my back porch almost daily and spend about 30 minutes a day in the sauna. I live on 2 acres in Bridge City, Texas, complete with chickens, ducks, a stocked pond with a waterpark, and over 100 fruit trees. I also have a 40x60 shop in the back and a 4300 sq ft house—everything’s paid off except the house.

I work at Motiva Port Arthur, the largest refinery in North America. I don’t smoke, but I do enjoy the occasional cigar on vacation with friends, and I’ll have a drink on special occasions. I also make my own wine from muscadines and harvest honey from my bees, though I wouldn’t call myself a beekeeper—I just let them do their thing.

If you’re looking for someone who values a healthy, sustainable lifestyle and wants to build a meaningful connection, feel free to reach out.

I came here looking for the answer to this but it would seem I have only found more questions.

My question would be what types of fruit trees grow best from cuttings. I just put these in my TurboKloner 2 days ago and a freeze is coming in 2 days so I might as well take desirable cuttings and try to root them as they will likely be burnt to a crisp in 2 days. I have every type of tree you can grow for my climate 9A. here is what I currently have in the "Kloner" crossed out and what im thinking of pulling the ones not crossed out when I get off work today to add to it... I know Figs root easy, I do not know about the others. I could pull some peaches, plums, pluots, mahaw, pawpaw.... I just don't know what roots the best. No real point in filling a whole row of wood thats just going to rot. I doubt I will get feedback soon but im hoping to show the failures of this experiment.
