Rooted Cutting

Rooted cuttings are propagated by taking a healthy stem or branch from a mature tree and encouraging it to develop roots. This process involves carefully cutting a section of the parent tree, treating it with rooting hormone, and planting it in soil or a suitable growing medium. Over time, the cutting forms its own root system and grows into a genetically identical tree. Rooted cuttings are a common method for reproducing fruit trees because they inherit the desirable traits of the parent tree, ensuring consistent fruit quality and characteristics.
