Rooting or grafting mulberries
Comments (7)Thank you all for the info. When I tried rooting, I simply stick them to the ground, this had worked for me on plants such as figs, camellia, willow, etc. but somehow it doesn't work for the particular mulberry that I was interested in rooting. I also did it before the leaves bud out in early spring, not when they are growing in full swing, as seen in the video. I also never used rooting horomone or gel which may have made a difference. It sounds like grafting is an easier way to propagate mulberries, so I will give it a try. Thanks everyone again....See More"Green Collar Crime"
Comments (36)If your zone 9 is somewhere in California, please do not bring home cuttings of wild, or any other roses. By smuggling uninspected material of any kind into the State, you run too great a risk of also smuggling in RRD/RRV or some other pathogen or pest we may not already have here. Agriculture is a huge industry here due to the climate. With the drought, existing pests and diseases, and escalating land prices, there are already great pressures on agriculture, including roses. It is very easy to accidentally bring in Japanese Beetles, RRD/RRV, or some other issue we don't already deal with. Some of the worst diseases and pests are here because someone smuggled in material without playing by the rules. Citrus Greening and the Asian Citrus Psyllid which spreads it appear to have been smuggled into the state. So, please, don't smuggle in "wild plants" from anywhere. Play by the rules, no matter where you live. Kim...See MoreDo you 'steal' cuttings?
Comments (38)In my opinion, the high prices charged by some garden centres cannot justify theft. You have a choice whether or not to pay their prices. But they have no choice when you steal. And before accusing garden centres of theft because you don't like their prices, perhaps you should consider what you are paying for. Garden centres do not and cannot base their prices solely on the cost of a cutting. You wouldn't decide that the high cost that Walmart is charging for a television justifies your theft of that television. I'll bet you don't steal gasoline for your car because oil companies are gouging. Just because you have successfully struck a cutting or two thousand cuttings does not make you an expert on the business of running a garden centre. As in any other business, they have a right to set their own prices. And desire for the newest, pretty, very expensive cultivar does not justify theft....See MorePet Peeve...Plumie Stalkers!!!
Comments (37)Andrew, Yes the neighbors moved as hell have no fury like a scored/pissed plumieholic. After the plumie tossing incident and report to the city about an illegal nursery, the neighbors decided they were going to build a patio structure. Well you better believe that she was watching and noticed there were no permits. Once the neighbor completed the patio maybe a week or 2 later, as to let them enjoy it so they would know what they were missing, she called the city and reported the illegal structure. You better believe the city came and knocked on his door. The neighbor got fined/cited and had to tear down the illegal structure. I believe that is when the neighbors had enough and put their house up for sale, supposedly it sold in a matter of weeks. The neighbor was a retired Highway Patrol officer or cop (cant remember). This was years ago and told her at the time she better watch her back, law enforcement can be worse than the criminals as they have the power. Even after they moved I was told she kept getting reported. I know though she stopped selling on Ebay and MPG, and only sells on her FB Page. Well I received a 911 call from my property manager today, she told me she was out in the front shaking out her front door mat when this guy random scary looking guy opened the gate and just walked on the property aka trespassing even though there are 2 very blatant signs that states "Private Property No Trespassing Or Soliciting, Plants are not for sale!!!!" The Prop Mgr said she informed him he was trespassing and he needed to leave. I was told she was very scared and he just ignored her and kept on looking, then he asked about the plumerias asking if cuttings were available. The prop mgr yelled at him again and said she was going to call the police, then he walked away to the sidewalk and kept staring at the plants. I was told she pulled her cell phone out to dial 911 and told him he was on Cam being recorded and pointed to the camera, then he went to his car and drove off. The prop Mgr was pissed at me stating if the plumies were not there people would not be trespassing and bothering her. So again is it the plumerias at fault or the rude, selfish idiots that do not give a s#i%. Here is the sign that is posted on the first panel of Wrought Iron at the beginning of the drive way: This is whats on the closed gate, there is a kingdom hall that trespasses all the time so I had to include them lol: Who much more clearer or ruder must the signs be? I am in the process of getting a new taller gate that only opens by key or combo. Because of someone being rude I had to rush down to the South Bay and call wrought Iron people and now spend money for a new gate all because someones too cheap to use their money to just buy plumies on their own.
