Great content. Keep up the excellent instruction and insights. Thanks for Bakersfield CA
Interesting video. Are there any other species with which this can be accomplished?
What kind of tree is that?
Great vid, will try experiment with other trees also.
Very interesting. I want to do this with an outgrown Yew in the garden. Pick a root and place it in a pot and so it hopefully grows. Thank you for sharing this experiment. Great video!
Thank you for the time and effort in making these types of videos, great knowledge shared.
very intresting video, learned something new again. Thanx Terry!
Beautiful work
What a great idea, it’s known as pride of India, here, I have 3 colours, now I know what to do with interesting roots in next repotting
Is this possible also with the japanese maple rootstock?
Really helpful Terry! Explains a lot as to why my previous elm root cuttings failed. Will definitely use your techniques next time. Will have to experiment with some of my other suckering varieties. So much potential – Thank you!
