I always have a few too many things rooting (or testing whether they will root). Apart from dozens of avocado cuttings in every stage of the rooting process, I’ve currently got some che, a few types of citrus, a couple figs, mulberry, and a loquat cutting, just to name a few.
The loquat has been in soil since late December, no sign of desiccation yet, and might be showing a hint of a new flush starting:
The che (for an impenetrable hedge planting) is scionwood that I chopped up a bit and did fig-pop style under a glass jar for humidity, stuck on heat in late December and just now starting to bud out:
I’ll remove the jar soon, but not quite yet. Here’s what they look like covered:
Here’s a TDE3 (aka Tahoe Gold®) cutting that’s been on heat since November and looks to be budding out (recently graduated from it’s jar):
The most recent additions to the avocado cutting area are from tree #311, one of my favorite trees from last year’s seedlings, with tiny leaves, a nice growth habit, and no leaf damage from 30°F at barely a year from seed. It is being distributed to a project member this weekend, so I took cuttings a few weeks ago, so that more members can get clones of this tree next year. You can see photos of the ortet in the linked tree profile, these cuttings were the shoots you see around the base in recent photos, so I expect most of them to root eventually:
