Rooting some Fuyu persimmon cuttings. Trying some in water and some in soil. Also trying some dipped in honey and some in rooting compound. We'll see what works. #permies #homestead #persimmons

Never heard of using honey; cool!
Have you tried willow water?
I'm doing similar experiments!
Right now - because we're right up against a freeze - I've only done rooting hormone vs none (and all in potting soil plus our compost). But earlier in the year, I cut lots of little mulberry cuttings, soaked them with willow cuttings for a few days, and then planted them directly in the ground. So far almost all of them have taken (fingers crossed - they're still very small, so we'll see if they make it through the winter).
Interested to see results.π
Never been able to get persimmons to root from cuttings
Figs & mulberries will root fairly well
