Will this product work on fruit trees....I want to clone this loquat tree but not sure if it will work

It should. I have used it on numerous citrus, stone fruits, vines and shrubs with success. Try taking spring/summer semi hardwood cuttings and fall/winter hardwood cuttings. The ambient temperature, bottom heat, light spurce, moisture levels and growing media are really key in propagation.

Things that will work well is get a cutting with a small leaf then cut stem under water at an angle. The more of an angle the better. Use an eyedropper and put some Clonex down your hole in case you rub some off inserting the cutting. Keep moist and use fertilizer cut to about 1/4 strength and mist the cutting 2 times a day. Make at least 3 times the cuttings you wish to keep just in case something goes wrong. Should get about an 80% success rate if you did everything correctly.

From my experience with this product I would say YES! One tip is to keep it in the frig between uses...this keeps it fresh.

Neither do I, sorry. though the label says it does. But don't quote me on that. I would suggest the cutting be as green-stem as possible.

You should not use this on trees with fruit consumed by people. Also it works best when applied in early spring before leaves have formed. Not saying you can't apply now, June 2, but you may still have more bugs eating leaves when Japanese beetles emerge for example. As for fruit, realize this product is absorbed through the entire tree. You do not want to consume that do you?

I don't have blueberries so I can not answer from that perspective. The blueberry maggot must come from a fly also so I would say it should work. I can not believe how great it works on fruit trees. It captures the flies before they attack the fruit. I have plum, apple and crab apple trees.

Yes, I use it on my container citrus trees. The only thing I'm not sure of is bringing the plants inside. I don't think fruit trees would do well indoors. If you live in the area you may check with Wegman's nursery in Redwood City. They're very knowledgeable. Good luck!

Sorry No I've only used it with apples and pears. I don't see why it wouldn't work with other fruits as well. good luck..

I have had mine for a year....still very small plants and no fruit. I have no idea how long before it will produce. I am sure you could contact Matt at Hirt's; he is very helpful.

I did not try it in hot conditions so I do not know the answer right now. i have actually some bugs on my plum trees and wanted to use it this weekend to treat my trees. We are scheduled for 100 deg weather here so you made me nervous about it! Where did you get a hold of that info? It might be correct....

Trees are very tough to clone with limited success. Something like roses, tomatoes, peppers , basil etc will clone easily with consistent 100% success rates.

Yes it will work on pears. It works on just about anything. It's actually a very good product. I really like the one I have.

I've never tried it on fruit trees, however it shouldn't harm your trees if you keep it around the roots and lower trunk. I would not spray it on the leaves or fruit as it may be residual and "pollute the fruit" as far as eating it. Good Luck, hope this may help you decide.

I am not sure I have not used it yet I don't know if you no but in early spring before the leaves come on and late fall after the leaves fall off you need to spray all your fruit trees need to be sprayed with a Neem Oil on all the bark and ground

It didn't work!! I even tried spraying it on the ground, which worked a little bit better then spraying it on the trees themselves. I suspect that what's needed is the 'professional' sprays which aren't available for home use.

well, my tree only lasted 2months and died-I did everything right, no clue why it died. I will be purchasing another one because the one I got my Dad for Christmas already has 6 lemons on it. All I know is my next tree purchase will be an Improved Meyer Lemon-it must be easier to grow. The day after I repotted my lemon tree the leaves all fell off one by one until it was bare-now its a crispy critter. Sad! Hope this helps your decision!

Might need to take better clones. What I mean by this is when taking clones always choose healthy stems so root growth is achieved easier and quicker

I used this product on a large tree in my front yard and it worked well to take care of the root rot "phytophthora". I went to an internet site called JustAnswer.com to find what to use for this large tree. A tree doctor told to use this product and carpenter ant killer, which I did and the tree finally came back. If the manufacture has a phone number I would call them and see if they can answer your question. If you use the internet site that I used they will charge you fee for their service, but I believe they have good experts that can answer your question. Hope this helps..

I don't know the answer to that. Use it for my fruit trees. You may find your answer when you GOOGLE it. They have wealth of info. HANS7115
