The process of obtaining a seedling from a branch
It is necessary to select a branch from a tree or bush that will become the trunk of the future seedling. It is preferable to choose shoots no older than several years. On the branch it is necessary to remove the bark along with the cambium. This is done with a sharp, clean knife. The bark is removed with a ring the width of a finger.
The area cleared of bark is wrapped in toilet paper. It needs to be wound as much as possible. After this, the paper is fixed with threads, wire or ties. It is necessary to tie it on the sides of the exposed area.
After this, the paper is soaked in water. As it dries, spraying is repeated. Do not allow the paper to dry out. You can wrap it in a bag to keep it moist longer.After a couple of weeks or months, depending on the time of year and the type of tree or bush, the paper is carefully unwound and the branch is cut off below the formed roots.
The formed seedling is planted in the ground and watered.
