Welcome, Guest. Please login or register. Author Topic: Satsuma cuttings Read times. Has anyone experience in reproducing satsuma by cuttings? How they do on own roots? I have had great success in getting citron and lime from cuttings, and i was wondering if can hope to achieve a good plant easily with this method even for satsumas. Contact me in PM if interested. Tom Sr. I've read that a small but clear majority of Meyer Lemon trees are grown as cuttings.
There are plenty budded or grafted for the dwarfing effects of a different rootstock. I've read about poor results trying to root satsuma but I have no personal experience. I've been told it's difficult to graft Xie Shan and Kishu for example. I guess it makes sense that they would also be hard grow from cuttings. Of course some people with lots of experience and the right set up would have better success. I eagerly await more information on your question! Thank you for your input Tom.
I have been trying to graft miyagawa on FD for quite some time now. This year i have had my first 2 successes but due to some dumb planning i lost both of them.
Grafting on FD seems doable, but of course satsuma on own roots would have a distinct advantage in colder climates. The fact that even in japan they are usually grafted seems to suggest that they don't behave well on own roots, but one never knows, and home growing is a little different from commercial orchards.
Let's see if we can get some more input. Very strange warning at the end of this article: Satsuma branches have thorns, so be cautious when handling them I have never seen thorns in satsumas. Best regards, Ilya. Very nice catch Ilya11! I don't see a date on the article and I agree with you about no thorns on Satsumas. Maybe a proof reader got confused knowing that some citrus has thorns. Great article though. I wonder if hoosierquilt knows the author. Well, apparently now it's the best moment to root some cuttings of satsuma, so i'm going to take some and will report on results.
